Elizabeth G. Adelman

The core of my scholarship focuses on the process of conducting legal research effectively. The fourth edition of my book, New York Legal Research, highlights the connections between sources, legal research, and analysis. Another area of interest is on the status of the academic law library. My recent scholarship examines the autonomy of academic law libraries, the status of the law library director, and the implications of both in the context of the ABA Standards.” TEACHING FACULTY VICE DEAN FOR LEGAL INFORMATION SERVICES ASSOCIATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARIAN FOR LAW
