Once again, proving the usefulness of Twitter, I find out (via @elizabethf) that Lexis has released a free iPhone/iPodTouch app that allows users to get cases from Lexis and to Shepardize them. You do need to have a current Lexis account. Still, how cool is that?

Hat tip to the Law Librarian Blog for pointing out that Harvard has created a series of short video tutorials on a bunch of legal research topics. Check ‘em out on Harvard’s YouTube Channel.

From nextgov: GSA signs deal for agencies to use social networking sites. The mind boggles at the possibilities. Maybe OMB can get American Idol contestants to sing new budget proposals and put them up on YouTube. Or Congress can place scanned versions of bills on Flickr and let the public comment on them that way. Congresspersons are already twittering about proceedings.

The Law Librarian Blog reports on a study by librarians at Valparaiso on the attitudes of students toward libraries’ use of Facebook. The biggest concerns are those regarding mixing of private/work/library spheres. This is of particular interest to me, because I manage our library’s Facebook page.
