internship update

Things having been going fairly smoothly at the law library. So smoothly, in fact, I haven't had much to write about.

Within the past week or so I have started to feel very comfortable and competent at what I am doing. I don't know if this is a function of time or the fact that my legal bibliography class is wrapping up and I've become very comfortable with the print materials that we have there.

The undergrad patrons have stopped coming in. I guess their legal research assignments are front-loaded in the semester. However, one of the law reviews has handed out a new cite check assignment, and of course, there is always for Pro Se patrons.

This week and next the librarians are offering 'jump start' classes for law students who will be clerking this summer. The students tell the librarians in advance what they will likely be working on, and the librarians find out which would be the best resources to use. They also make themselves available throughout the summer for questions from the summer clerks. Now that I've written about it, I should probably see if I can sit in on one of these classes.
