Set forth within this article is a very brief background on the substantive law an instructor for a course on this topic would need to know.

Untapped Potential: A Study of Academic Online Legal Research Guides

This article explores the current state of online legal research guides. It surveys guides from 197 ABA-accredited law school libraries and (1) identifies four major types of guides and (2) calculates the total number of academic-law-library-produced online legal research guides. The article also takes a closer look at the content and format of online legal research guides, with immigration-focused guides as an illustration. After analyzing the survey results, the article suggests some best practices for format regardless of the guide type. Ideally, an awareness of the breadth and depth of existing online legal research guides will result in less duplication of efforts among law librarians and more current, accurate, and functional online legal research guides.

Specialized Legal Research Courses: The Next Generation of Advanced Legal Research

This article examines the current state of Advanced Legal Research (ALR) courses and the emergence of Specialized Legal Research (SLR) courses. It surveys the curriculum of all ABA-accredited law schools and provides updated statistics of ALR course offerings. It also identifies for the first time (1) the law schools currently offering SLR courses, (2) the most popular SLR course topics, and (3) the role of the law library in determining whether to implement a SLR course. The results of this survey will hopefully educate law schools about the trends and variety of legal research course offerings.

Meeting Business Students' Legal Research Needs: A Selected List of Periodicals on Corporation,Securities, and Bankruptcy

Business students and practitioners are expected to understand the legal framework and the legal environment in which businesses function, but not the complicated black letter law and lengthy judicial opinions. In terms of legal research, different from law school students, business students and practitioners need more secondary legal source support from their libraries. This article will bring the unique legal research needs of business students and practitioners to librarians' attention. A list of selected legal periodicals on corporate law, securities regulations, and bankruptcy will be supplied for libraries to better meet those needs.     

Bilingual and Multilingual Legal Dictionaries in the European Union: An Updated Bibliography

This annotated bibliography is intended to shed light on the availability and distribution of legal dictionaries that translate the twenty-seven European languages. The representative corpus consists of about 200 printed bilingual legal dictionaries (BLDs) with terms from two or more legal languages used in the European Union. This bibliography aims to illustrate the wide variation in the quality of these BLDs by the usage of three special headings and by referring to relevant professional reviews. In addition, the authors have commented upon noticeable BLDs that deserve serious criticism or special attention. This annotated bibliography updates the previous bibliography (Gerard-René de Groot & Conrad J. P. van Laer. The Quality of Legal Dictionaries: An Assessment [Maastricht Faculty of Law Working Paper No. 2008/6, 2008]) and covers almost all recently published BLDs. However, this bibliography is not exhaustive because of the dispersion of publishing houses: Each publisher issues only two BLDs, on average.

Teaching Legal Research in American Law Schools:

Teaching legal research in the Law School setting has become a timely topic - forty percent of the journal articles that have been written about it have appeared within the last ten years and at least twenty-seven law schools have developed advanced legal research courses in addition to the basic course. We have attempted to compile an exhaustive bibliography of journal articles that in some way contribute to the pedagogical literature of legal research. We do not include articles which describe research techniques and sources, nor do we include articles devoted solely to the teaching of legal writing or advocacy.     

Graduate Business Students and Business Information Literacy: A Novel Approach

Currently the literature examining formal business information literacy (BIL) instruction and graduate business students focuses on the collaborative efforts between individual librarians and business school faculty members to bring information literacy into the classroom.

基于互联网的商业机构名识别研究

互联网已经成为企业和组织获取竞争对手情报的主要来源之一.建立基于Web的竞争对手情报自动获取系统已成为企业的迫切需求.在竞争对手情报自动获取系统中,商业机构名的识别是基础,它为竞争对手的标识和进一步情报抽取提供了依据.本文提出了一种基于互联网的商业机构名识别新方法.该方法考虑了商业机构名与其上下文之间的语义关联性,通过语义标注和隐马尔可夫模型相结合的方法进行商业机构名识别.我们以互联网上的真实中文网页为数据集对提出的识别算法进行了性能评估,并从召回率、准确率和F指标三个方面与CHMM(基于层叠隐马尔可夫模型的机构名识别算法)、MEM(基于最大熵模型的机构名识别算法)以及SVM(基于支持向量机的机构名识别算法)进行了对比.实验结果表明,本文提出的算法改善了商业机构名识别效果,并且具有很好的普适性.
