Law Librarians Captivated by Lincoln Resource Center Resources and Services

IRC librarian briefing law librarians on LRC services.

On June 12, Lincoln Resource Center (LRC) reference librarian spoke to law librarians representing institutions of higher learning, the courts and the parliament libraries at International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) about “Resources and Services of Lincoln Resource Center (LRC) and Lincoln Corners (LC)”.  The librarians, who were participating in the second annual meeting for Law Librarians, were exposed to the role of LRC and LC as a one-stop center for reliable and timely U.S. information, offering research based reference services. 

One librarian commented, “The LRC pursuit in sharing information about the United States and providing reference services are essential components in bolstering our reference services for library users conducting research on comparative legal studies.”   Another noted, “We are now able to refer our library users to LRC staff for consultation on U.S. information resources and assistance in obtaining resources not available in our respective libraries.”  The IIUM librarian, in sharing her experience regarding requests to the LRC to obtain significant articles on U.S. management and organizational practices, exclaimed that she was impressed that the IRC could provide information free of charge and in a timely fashion.
