Not just for law students

I would estimate that approximately 45% of the questions I am asked come from law students. Another 45% are from indiviuals affilated with the university. The rest are Pro Se patrons and librarians.

Over the past two weeks, a journalism class and two classes from the school of public affairs have had assignments involving legal research. I've been really busy assisting them, which has been fun but really exhausting.* The assignments seem to utilize the various forms of the US Code (USC, USCA, and USCS) and administrative regulations (CFR and Federal Register). Fortunately, we just covered those very topics in my legal bibliography class, otherwise I would have no idea how to use these resources.

*One of the librarians here told me that before the advent of computers, there would be a constant line of 3-6 people requiring reference assistance. I don't think I would be able to handle that.
