Thanks to everyone who participated in this year’s Valentine’s Day Info Hunt!!
We want to thank ALL of you for putting your research skills to work and joining us in what we hope you all found to be a great learning experience. Here are the 15 winners whose names were selected at random from among the entrants.
Winners will be receiving an email with instructions on claiming their prize.
The Mendik Library will be open on Monday February 20, 2023. Please see the hours of operation below.
What are you looking for this Valentine’s Day? Love? Adventure? Excitement? Join our Find Love in the Library Info Hunt! It’s simple (and free!). You’ll automatically be entered to WIN great prizes . . . study aids, Lexis points, law dictionaries, Bluebooks (choose between print or a 1-year online subscription), NYLS commuter mugs, Westlaw blankets, and Starbucks gift cards!
Click here to access the questions. Each slide includes just one question, along with step-by-step instructions that will get you to the answer.
Just answer 5 of the 6 questions and submit them by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday February 14. Your answers don’t need to be perfect—just close!
And don’t forget to stop by the Reference Desk for some yummy Valentine’s Day chocolates.
Exam period is here and your easygoing nature probably is diminishing quickly. Little things that you ignored last week are a big deal today. So, if it bugs you, say something.
Tell us about the light bulb over your favorite study spot that is out or the outlet that doesn’t work. Or the person with the malodorous lunch or dinner. Or the guy in the stairwell talking on his cell phone at full volume.
If you see, hear, or smell something, say something. It’s your library and you are here to study without distractions. Let us help do that. Contact the Reference Desk at 212.431.2332, the Circulation Desk at 212.431.2333, or email us at reference@nyls.edu
Due to scheduled network maintenance by the Office of Information Technology, you may not be able to access any of the library’s online databases or ebooks this Friday, October 7 from 6:00—9:00 p.m. This will not affect your access to Lexis, Westlaw or Bloomberg Law.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
On behalf of the Mendik Library, I want to welcome everyone back for another exciting year. And, in particular, welcome to the entering Class of 2022-23! We are all looking forward to meeting you as you embark on this challenging and exciting journey.
We have worked hard to make your library a comfortable study and learning environment. The Mendik Library is a vibrant and dynamic information and research center. You can be assured that you are getting the benefit of an outstanding collection of information and technology resources, an extensive offering of services, and an excellent and dedicated library staff.
We describe our resources and services in great detail on our web pages and guides. What you might not realize from these publications is the outstanding quality of the Mendik Library Staff and why that is important to you. Your librarians have many years of experience working in law libraries and teaching legal research. Many have J.D. degrees from law schools around the country and years of legal practice experience. They have been where you are going. They can help you with your library and research needs, of course, but their value to you goes far beyond that. Do not hesitate to ask us questions about the law school, particular courses, or any of the extracurricular activities available. We can help you, or we will direct you to the best person to give you the help you need.
Welcome! We hope the library will quickly become your second home. To our new 1L community members, we recognize that law school is a new experience for each of you, and we are committed to making that experience a rewarding one. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you throughout your law school career and thereafter as alumni.
Sincerely,
Professor Camille Broussard
Library Director & Associate Dean
