The Research Services Department of Dwight King, Patti Ogden, Warren Rees and Beth Klein (with various student assistants) looks forward to assisting you with your research in the upcoming academic year. We provide the following services:

1. Reference and research assistance. We use print and electronic sources to find factual information for you, retrieve documents, locate legislative history information, identify relevant primary and secondary authorities, and compile bibliographies.
   
   We are not able to provide extensive analysis of the sources located. Therefore, we do not produce annotated bibliographies, legal memoranda, or briefs, etc. In addition, we ask that you assign tasks such as Shepardizing or cite-checking to your research assistant.
   
   
2. WESTLAW and LEXIS training. The Research Librarians will provide initial, refresher, advanced, and specialized training for you, your research assistant, secretary, or students. We will also put you in touch with the LEXIS or WESTLAW academic representatives for class training or presentations.
   
   We can set up customized LEXIS ECLIPSE or WESTLAW WestCLIP searches. These will allow you to receive automatic updates in your area(s) of interest.
   
   
3. Guidance for research assistants. Our department is happy to work with your assistants to help them formulate research strategies for your assignments.
   
   
4. Lectures or tours. We will lecture in your classroom or hold special sessions in the library to show your students how to perform research in specific subject areas.

For assistance, contact: Dwight (1-5993), King.1@nd.edu; Patti (1-5664), Ogden.1@nd.edu; or Warren (1-4436), Rees.2@nd.edu.
