Walkover Collection rededication
Friends and family gathered in the library on November 9th
to rededicate the collection named for popular law school professor
and associate dean Andrew Walkover, who died of cancer in 1988.
The collection was created by Andy's family and friends, who
decided that the best way to keep his spirit alive in the law
school was to provide a selection of books that he would have
liked and recommended to people. Recently, a committee was created
to select new material on an ongoing basis to keep the collection
alive and growing.
Come see the collection some time, located just inside the
library doors. Take a break, have a seat, and crack a book. There's
something for everyone.

November
2000 |
New exhibit devoted to
Prof. McGee
 The library is kicking off an
exhibit series devoted to faculty interests and accomplishments
with a display devoted to Professor
Henry McGee. Some milestones in Professor McGee's career
so far reflected in the exhibit include his work with the Committee
for Legal Assistance in the South during the Civil Rights Movement,
his support of the Black Law Journal at UCLA, a Fulbright Scholarship
to the University of Madrid in 1982, a semester as visiting senior
lecturer on international environmental law at Witwatersrand
University in Johannesburg, South Africa, in Spring of 1999,
and his service last summer as legal advisor to the Samoan delegation
to the International Criminal Court Preparatory Conference at
the United Nations. Professor McGee is also an accomplished violinist
currently playing with the Seattle  Philharmonic
Orchestra. Come see the milestones and mementos in the library
exhibit area in the 4th floor Dolliver Reading Room.

New enhancements
to THEO
New functionality has been added to THEO
and some of the databases accessible through it:
- LegalTrac and Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals (ILP) are
now accessible from off campus through the "Databases"
pull-down menu on THEO. You will be prompted for your Seattle
University e-mail logon and password.
- The export function was added to THEO last summer, and has
proven to be quite useful for compiling bibliographies. When
looking at search results, you are now able to "check"
boxes next to records you want, click on the "Save Marked
Records" button, then select "Export Saved List"
to download, e-mail, or print only the records you have chosen.
- An electronic Interlibrary Loan (ILL) form is now
available through the "Library Information" pull-down
menu on THEO. Be sure to read instructions carefully before submitting
the form to ensure that your request reaches us.

Site checking
 Some websites of interest:
Disability
Etiquette Handbook <www.ci.sat.tx.us/planning/handbook/>
One of the suggestions offered at the Law School's afternoon
session on Mission Day was for diversity training. This site,
produced by the City of San Antonio, Texas Planning Department,
provides insight for those who might be working with a person
who has a disability for the first time. Sections address proper
etiquette in various situations, reasonable accomodation, a list
of "do and don'ts," and a glossary of accepted terminology
that demonstrates, among other things, the semantic difference
between "handicap" and "disability."
Governments on the WWW
<www.gksoft.com/govt>
If you ever need to find websites on Burundi
or Andorra in a hurry,
bookmark this page. For a list of IGOs, go to Northwestern University
Library's International
Governmental Organizations <http://www.library.nwu.edu/govpub/resource/internat/igo.html>.
Cartoonbank.com <www.cartoonbank.com>
If you need a good laugh, visit this searchable database of classic
cartoons from the New Yorker. A keyword search of "lawyer"
brings up 253 cartoons, whereas "criminal" only brings
up 32.

Missing books
Have you seen these books? These are missing volumes for which
we have looseleaf filing, supplements, and pocket parts. We encourage
the law school community to return any of these materials to
the Circulation Desk so that they may be updated and so that
we do not have to purchase expensive replacement copies.
