Faculty Service

Overview of Current Awareness

revised: 15 April 2021

Because keeping up with current events and scholarship is important for faculty research and writing, the Law Library provides a number of current awareness tools. This page summarizes some common current legal awareness resources. Most of these resources are also available to students and can be utilized in teaching. Contact your library liaison with questions or to develop a current awareness plan tailored to your needs.

Citation Alerts

revised: 14 April 2021

Faculty can receive notifications when their articles are cited by signing up for various citation alert services.

HeinOnline

On HeinOnline, faculty can sign up for email alerts in their HeinOnline author profile page for whenever their articles on Hein are cited by new publications and cases on Hein. View instructions on how to manage author alerts from HeinOnline here: https://help.heinonline.org/kb/how-to-manage-author-alerts/.

Google Scholar

You can make a Google Scholar profile and receive alerts any time your articles on Google Scholar are cited by other works in Google Scholar. You can read more about Google Scholar profiles and how to receive alerts here: https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/citations.html#citations. If you need help making your Google Scholar profile, see the screencast made by the BYU Law Library here: http://huntersquery.byu.edu/google-scholar-profiles/.

Contact your library liaison for any assistance you may need.

Data Project Support

revised: 31 March 2021

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 knowledge or background learned through the first-year legal research and writing program in law school, 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: 14 April 2021

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
