Training at the Moment of Need

Truth: there are too many tools out there for any one person to know them all.  Young attorneys are coming into law firms unfamiliar with many of the resources used in law firms, so training is imperative  –  but how do you reach them at the moment of need?  We’ll hear from an academic law librarian, a private law firm librarian, and a vendor, to talk about some tips and tricks of the trade to turn a “teachable moment” into an information advantage!

Starring  Laura Cadra (Head of Reference/Foreign and International Law Librarian, Loyola Law School and one of my besties), Emily Florio (Library Services Manager at Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP), Pauline Self (Solutions Consultant, LexisNexis), Moderator:  Jim Senter (California Region Library Services Manager, Jones Day)

Be Here Now:  An Introduction to Mindfulness

The practice of Mindfulness involves being aware moment-to-moment, of one’s subjective conscious experience from a first-person perspective.  When practicing mindfulness, one becomes aware of one’s “stream of consciousness”.  Research studies have indicated that the construct of mindfulness is strongly correlated with well-being and perceived health.  Join us for an introduction to Mindfulness  – and learn how to reduce stress and find that healthy balance in one’s life.

Starring Judith Gordon (UCLA)
