Data Project Support

revised: 

Data project support is a faculty service the Law Library provides to law faculty. The support is provided by data assistants (undergraduate students), who collect data and/or enter data that does not require legal knowledge or background. The data assistants also work on data projects supporting corpus linguistics. The data assistants are hired, trained, and managed by the Data Project Manager Teresa Odam. Faculty requests for data project support may be made through faculty liaisons who will coordinate with the Data Project Manager to ensure the carrying out and completion of the requested data project.

The reference assistants will continue to provide support for data projects that require some legal training, though traditional research requests may receive higher priority. More information about what the reference assistants can do for law faculty can be found here.

Library Liaison Program

revised: 

Library liaisons are assigned to each full-time law school faculty member. These liaisons act as intermediaries between the Law Library and the faculty. Liaisons meet with their assigned faculty regularly to determine individual library needs and research interests. They also ensure that faculty members are aware of library services and collections and seek suggestions regarding how library services can be improved. Library liaisons are available to assist faculty members with their research needs. They obtain library material for faculty members and arrange for other library services that are needed or requested.

Specific services might include:

  • obtaining law review articles
  • making interlibrary loan requests (or you can contact Melanie Coleman at colemanm@law.byu.edu)
  • forwarding purchase requests for approval and ordering
  • setting up automated current awareness accounts (such as SmartCILP, Lexis/Nexis alerts, Westlaw’s WestClip and SSRN/LSN subscriptions)
  • creating coversheets for scholarly works to be posted on SSRN
  • uploading scholarly works to SSRN on behalf of the faculty member
  • presenting research classes on subjects taught by the faculty member
  • working with faculty research assistants
  • compiling citations to the faculty member’s scholarly works
