The Pace Law Library Blog Makeover

Dear Readers,

We are thrilled to introduce to you our new Pace Law Library Blog.  We have been writing here since June 2008 and so we decided that our blog more than deserved a major makeover.  Thus, in the beginning of 2011, we migrated to a new platform and VOILÀ, here it is!

Meet the re-designed and spanking new Pace Law Library Blog:

www.library.blogs.law.pace.edu 

We will continue to bring you news and commentaries from the areas of Law and Technology, Legal Research & Writing, Professional Responsibility, Criminal, Environmental, Immigration, and International, and we plan to expand our coverage into Corporate, Finance, and Securities Law.  And, of course, we will always have a special section for law students.

Visit us on our new blog as we will be writing there from now on. Follow us on Twitter, become a friend on Facebook, or subscribe directly to our blog posts via RSS feed.

Thank you blogger for having us for the past two and half years, and see you all at library.blogs.law.pace.edu.
