We produce a Newsletter to keep Inner Temple members and tenants up to date with developments in the Library. Each issue includes details of forthcoming training sessions and information on new resources and changes to services.
The April issue includes details of the Library’s recently extended opening hours (and Saturday opening across all four Inn Libraries); reports on recent staff activities for the benefit of new students; and features on new acquisitions and on the Case Law section of AccessToLaw.com. In conclusion members of staff tell us what activities they are looking forward to as (we hope) the lockdown continues to ease.
This issue includes an announcement regarding the launch of Lawtel on Westlaw UK; our Annual Review for 2020; reflections on providing a remote service during the pandemic, and specifically on the complementarity of online and print resources; and features on new acquisitions and on staff activities during lockdown.
