With the advent of new technologies, there are always periods of adjustment, issues that need to be addressed, and bugs to be fixed, even after the technologies have undergone rigorous testing.

Ex Libris Juris - HCLL Blog RSS

What’s behind the name? “Ex Libris Juris” is Latin for “from the books of law” and much of the information here will relate to the legal information collected and curated by the Law Library. Additionally, “Ex Libris” has long appeared on bookplates – labels appearing inside the front cover of books – and has acquired the connoted meaning “from the library of” to show ownership of the book. Using this connotation, the phrase becomes “from the library of law” and better describes the posts about digital resources, event announcements, and research tips that will regularly appear here.
