The Nellco Internships/Exchanges Task Force is pleased to announce the development of its website. It is currently offering ten internships in nine different member libraries, including: two court libraries, six academic libraries, and the Social Law Library.
Check them out!

Bonnie Schuca (WisBlawg) has compiled a list of law library and law librarian blogs. She is preparing for a presentation at the American Association of Law Libraries Annual Meeting, as well as for an article in Law Library Journal. It focuses only on professional blogs targeted to the legal community.

The Law Librarian Blog mentions a service called YouSendIt.com. Upload your file to the service and e-mail a link from which recipients can download the file.

We knew it would happen—The Law Firm, a new reality television show from NBC, will be premiering this July.

Dear Colleagues,

I just wanted to let you know that I have made some significant changes to our International Law News webpage:
http://www.law.harvard.edu/library/services/research/
guides/international/web_resources/news.php

As you know, we previously had tried to manually monitor news in this area, however the task was so formidable that we changed the website so that it only pointed to news sources.

Well now thanks to NewsGator http://www.newsgator.com/home.aspx a free service that lets you monitor and organize your news feeds and blogs – we now have live headlines updated in real time for a number of topics.

Check out our headlines and news sources for the UN, the EU, World News, the WTO and more. Also note that some tables of contents plus abstracts are available for current journal titles also.

Thanks!
Annette
