Law research guide published by new manager

Kay Tucker, who was appointed as manager of the Law Library at Clayton campus in January, has recently co-authored a book.

A Practical Guide to Legal Research, published by the Lawbook Co. in 2008, is jointly written by Monash's Kay Tucker with Sue Milne, Law Librarian at the University of Adelaide. The book addresses the basic research needs of law students or practising lawyers who need to know how to quickly and effectively locate specific information, be it cases or statutes or changes in law, and how to locate commentary on particular fields of law.

Kay Tucker’s appointment as Manager of the Law Library comes after acting in the position for 2007 and extensive experience in the field of information literacy, including working with Faculty staff to develop the new Research and Writing unit to be offered for the first time in Semester 2, 2008.

The Law Library, one of eight branch libraries of the Monash University Library, supports and resources the learning, teaching and research activities of staff and students of the Law faculty. The Law Library has collection strengths in corporations, criminal, human rights, and international law. The library provides its specialist law collection in both print and electronic form, concentrating on resources covering Australia and other common law jurisdictions, as well as international law. Of particular note is the Pacific Law collection, comprising primary and secondary legal materials covering Pacific Island states and territories.
