Abstract
The first part of this paper describes the responsibility of the law librarian/CLE legal research instructor in terms of increasing the information literacy of practitioners. In an information environment that changes rapidly, where the sheer volume of what can be relevant information is seemingly unlimited, and where interactions between researchers and information are less mediated than in the past, practicing attorneys need to understand the types of materials available, the different uses to which information can be put, and the ways in which search and retrieval mechanisms work to make content available. To the extent that attorneys understand content and the mechanisms available to access that content, the better able they will be to select the most useful resource in any given situation and to use that resource efficiently and effectively.
The second part consists of a selected and annotated bibliography of legal research and legal research instruction resources, including online legal and interdisciplinary materials useful to the legal practitioner.
