Most law libraries provide online access to their research guides. Although they may contain information specific to the library's collections, these guides provide references to treatises, Web sources, major case law, legislation, and other relevant sources that can aid in one's research.
If your legal research is state-specific, you may want to browse the list of online research guides of a handful of major law libraries in that state (see examples below).
Another strategy for locating relevant legal research guides is to conduct a keyword search in your internet browser, using the terms "research," "guide" as well as the subject matter you are researching. For example:
- research AND guide AND "human rights law"
- research AND guide AND "legislative history" AND texas
