The Librarian’s Secret Weapon: WorldCat for Difficult Legal Research Webinar

When legal research takes you beyond Westlaw, Lexis, and other familiar legal databases, where do you go next? WorldCat Discovery can help you uncover books, historical materials, foreign and comparative law sources, older editions, and other hard-to-find resources that may not surface in a traditional legal research workflow.

In this 30-minute webinar, we’ll explore four common research challenges and demonstrate how WorldCat Discovery can help you find the source you need—including tracing older editions, following subject headings, researching foreign legal systems, and locating a work from an existing citation. We’ll also look at what happens after you find it and how NYLI’s interlibrary loan service can help members obtain materials from other libraries.

Whether you’re tracking down an obscure treatise, researching the history of a legal issue, or following a decades-old citation, WorldCat can be a powerful tool when your usual research path runs out.
