Thank you to Diane for sharing handouts from a recent Lexis Nexis legal searching webinar. I've created a new folder in the Reference drive called "Legal Research" and saved these two documents as well as a few others in that folder for everyone to access. The folder includes

• Lexis Nexis commands at a glance
• Legal Concepts and Definitions
• Melanie Morris' "Brick and Mortar" research assignment for the online Legal Research & Writing course
• Maria DeFilipis' assignment for Role of the Paralegal
• The Legal Research @ RVCC guide that we used during our legal research training session a few semesters ago

Tax Forms

Our library does not provide printed tax forms any longer, but the 1040, 1040A, and 1040EZ as well as instruction sheets are available from the Bridgewater Public Library (and probably most other public libraries).

NJ forms are available online at http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/forms.shtml.

Students are experiencing a problem when trying to open or download PPT files that have been uploaded to Lion's Den when they are using Internet Explorer. This does not seem to be an issue in other browser's, so ask them to log in to Lion's Den from another browser and try again.

Printing from Chegg eBook

Students should use internet explorer to print pages of an eBook purchased from Chegg.   Using Chrome Browser prints a dark background causing the page to be unreadable and wasting toner.
