Electronic Resource CenterTechnology has reshaped legal publishing in ways that will forever alter how attorneys and judges approach their work. The information professionals of the Leon E. Bloch Law Library have embraced this transformation in creating a state-of-the art Electronic Resource Center. The center has four major components. The Virtual Law Classroom, comprising 25 Pentium-processor equipped computers, provides a teaching resource for instruction in the use of digital/optical databases; the Internet and World Wide Web; and multiple databases of use to law students and lawyers. When not used as a classroom, these machines are available for library patrons. The Law Student Computing Center provides 15 Pentium-processor equipped computers exclusively reserved for use by law students, including a scanner and a dedicated workstation for the visually impaired. All of the resources available in the Virtual Law Classroom, plus additional law student-related Web sites are also available on these machines. In addition, each law student receives a password necessary for accessing multiple databases and Web sites from home.
