Preparing for Pupillage
The Library is running tours for new pupils. These tours are designed to assist pupils in
finding materials in the Library and to update them on the many services
the Library has to offer.
The tours will last
about 30 minutes and can be booked by contacting
tdennis@innertemple.org.uk.
Training for pupils
We are looking at ways of developing services to
pupils. The Library team has a great deal of experience in legal
research and we would willingly provide training for pupils on various
aspects.

Legal Research FAQs
The FAQs
on the website cover UK and
European case law and legislation and treaty research. The questions and
responses are based on questions frequently asked of the staff at the Library's enquiry point.
Suggestions for both print and electronic sources are included.
AccessToLaw
AccessToLaw,
the Library's gateway, site provides annotated
links to over 1400 legal and
parliamentary websites. Library staff aim to select sites which may be
useful to legal practitioners and to provide brief details of
coverage under the categories United Kingdom, Commonwealth, Other
Jurisdictions, Legal Subject Areas and General Resources.
The latest stories from the
Current
Awareness Weblog are also now included on the site, as well as a
link to the entire current awareness database and archive which goes
back to April 2007.
We hope this index of sites will save time for barristers who are
unfamiliar with free sources of legal information on the Internet.
AccessToLaw is updated on a quarterly basis.
Feedback on this
project or details of any sites which users feel should be added can
be sent to mclay@innertemple.org.uk.

Bar Librarians Group
The Bar Librarians Group was
formed in 2002 by the librarians of the Inn Libraries and the
librarians of individual chambers. The Group meets regularly,
usually at Inner Temple, and its objectives are to share relevant
information, to be a strong voice for the interests of its members,
and to develop more effective working relationships with the main
legal publishers. If you are a qualified librarian working in
chambers and you are interested in finding out more about the Group,
please email either
Margaret Clay or Alison
Million.

The Library has a suggestions box situated near the Reference
section. This may be used by Library users to post comments or queries

Merchandise
The Inner Temple Library has produced two postcards, which are

The second is a reproduction of one of the
most treasured illuminated manuscripts in the Inner Temple's
collection,
