These classes will be offered several times this semester. Take as many or few classes as you want! Registration is on our TWEN site under Law Library Research Certification. To complete the library research skills certification program, take any 5 of the 8 classes offered and complete an out-of-class assignment for each one. Once you have taken 5 classes, we will give you a certificate saying that you have completed the library training.

If you cannot attend certain classes, we will try to offer them at other times in the future. So you will be able to take any classes you miss at a later date. We will keep track of all classes that you have already taken.
