The advantage of this type of looseleaf service is that the most recent developments are summarized in each issue of the newsletter, which may be conveniently browsed by the attorney on a regular basis. Looseleaf services are generally shelved on the fifth floor with other materials on the same subject. There is a collection of the most frequently used looseleaf services located in the Reading Room in front of the reference desk. This collection contains only the most recent materials available. Volumes containing older materials are located at the same call number on the fifth floor.
Many looseleaf services are also available through the library's webpage.
The best way to identify a looseleaf on a particular topic is to use Legal Looseleafs in Print , available in most law libraries. Another good way to identify a looseleaf is to ask someone in your practice area or to ask your librarian or information specialist. As a last resort, try browsing the shelves where other materials on your subject are located. Read the directions in the front of the first volume. Five minutes spent reading will save mistakes and wasted time later.
