Biddleblog

A weblog, or "blog" for short, is an online journal that provides web users with information, generally on a daily basis. A blog's subject can range from the day-to-day musings of individuals, to op-ed pieces, to reports of world events as they break. A blog's tone can range from stately to sarcastic, with shades of gray in between. Writers of blogs are called "bloggers" and the writing act itself is called "blogging." A list of blogs is called a "blogroll."

If you have any other questions about the biddleblog or blogs in general, contact Ed Greenlee or me.

When completed, this post will contain a directory of law-related blogs by the Penn Law community, peer institutions, law school professors, practitioners, and other relevant parties, selected by the librarians at Biddle Law Library.

Jordon Steele is the Archivist at Biddle. When he's not organizing the papers of the American Law Institute, the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Law (NCCUSL, if you work in acronyms), or the National Bankruptcy Archives, he works with the rest of the Public Services librarians to apply emerging techonlogies to the library's mission of outreach and instruction.

Have you ever wished that law review articles, administrative materials and/or U.S. Supreme Court decisions were made electronically available in PDF format? Your wish has been answered! These are just some of many materials available to you as a Penn Law student via the searchable HeinOnline database.

Biddle recently debuted a new exhibit for Spring and Summer 2007, "Copyright 2.0," which is currently on display in the reference area of the library.

You can find a list of Biddle's new books for this month on our Recent Acquisitions page.

As a previous post about a new exhibit at Biddle suggested, copyright is an area of the law in which Biddle librarians and the larger Penn Law community share a special interest.

As announced yesterday, Biddle Librarians will be in the Clock area from 12:00-1:00 PM today showing the ins and outs of HeinOnline.

Snacks will be available. Stop by and learn more; you know you want to.

Last Friday, when most of you were probably studying for or taking exams, Drexel University Libraries sponsored a symposium on Intellectual Property Rights. Ed Greenlee, Bill Draper, Pat Callahan, and I were in attendance.
