Additional Services for Law Faculty: Research Assistants
Research Assistant Training
The reference librarians offer topical and advanced research training to newly hired research assistants to make certain they are using the most current and efficient library resources and technologies. Training and refresher sessions include Lexis/Nexis, Westlaw and Internet research, the compilation of legislative histories, and statutory and administrative law research.
At the beginning of each summer, training is offered in small group sessions. During the academic year, individual training and orientations are held when research assistants are hired. Please ask your new research assistants to contact Stefanie Weigmann (sweig@bu.edu, room 205, x8-4997) or one of the reference librarians, x3151, to discuss library collections, online research and training.
Terri Geiger (tgeiger@bu.edu, room 206, x3-8881) assigns study carrels and keys to faculty research assistants and explains special circulation and photocopying privileges and procedures to them.
