Merriam-Webster Dictionary Online

With all the need for specialized legal resources online, it's often easy to forget the basics, such as our non-specialized English language vocabulary. Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary makes finding the meaning of common terms, as well as sesquipedalian locutions ;-) , quick and easy. Just type the word whose definition you seek into the search box, and click "search". There is a thesaurus and other options, too.

Looking for Off-Campus Housing?

From my spot near the reference librarians, I've been hearing some good questions from new law students. For example, some of you have been asking about off-campus housing possibilities and whether there is an updated list of them anywhere. Well, you'll be glad to know that there is such a list. It's kept by Hofstra's Office of Residential Life, which is located in the Student Center, Room 244. You can request the off-campus housing list by e-mailing them at reslife@hofstra.edu, and they will send it to you. Or, you can call 516-463-6930 to request it. Good luck with finding a great place!

Library Walking Tours

Welcome! The next 2 weeks we are giving walking tours of the library. Why should you go one one? Well, this is a large building and you will want to know where certain facilities such as the lower level computer lab, study rooms and restrooms are located. Some of the rooms are talking (softly) areas and others are the usual library quiet. The tour will take about 1/2 hour.

Who knows you may spot the nook that becomes your favorite study area.
