A link can be found on the reference services portion of the MCSOL Library website. Have you ever found yourself spending too much time going back and forth to the printer? You sit down, find the first article you're looking for, click print and then get up to go retrieve it. You come back, find another article, hit print, get up to go retrieve it, come back and so on. Or, have you ever simply wanted to print 2 or 3 articles at one time? If either of these applies to you, then you may find this shortcut helpful!
]]> Once you have located the article or pages that you wish to print, select the print option from the page toolbar. From the print options menu, select one of the PDF download options (either PDF or PDFtext). If prompted, save the PDF to a location on your computer. Otherwise, once the PDF has finished downloading, click save from the Adobe Reader toolbar and save the PDF to your computer.
]]> Now, continue your research until you find the next article or pages of interest. Then download the document as a PDF and save it to the same location on your computer as the first document you downloaded. Continue to download and save the documents you need for your research until you are finished and ready to print.
]]> Once you have completed your research and are ready to print the downloaded pages, open the folder on your computer to which you have saved your documents. Highlight each of the PDF files in the folder that you wish to print by holding down the control button and selecting each file. If you want to select everything in the folder, you can also hit CTRL+A on your keyboard. Now, go to the File menu from within the Window's (or your specific operating system) folder, and select print. This will then send a request to the printer to print all selected items. - This tip from HeinOnline http://law.mc.edu/library/mississippi.html Want to plug one of our newer web pages on the library website, the Mississippi Resources page, http://law.mc.edu/library/mississippi.html. This page has all of the old Mississippi Constitutions, city ordinances for most of the major cities in Mississippi and other handy links regarding Mississippi law and government. Also if you have any suggestions for things we can add to the Mississippi Resources page we are always willing to listen. http://lawwin2k3.mc.edu/videoarchive/court.asp The Mississippi Supreme Court in conjunction with Mississippi College School of Law has undertaken this project to provide a website for past and future oral arguments before the Mississippi Supreme Court and Court of Appeals for the general public.
]]> This archive contains all of the recorded appellate arguments heard by the Mississippi Supreme Court and Court of Appeal dating back to January of 2004 and is currently updated at the end of every sitting. Each video entry also contains the party’s names, the attorney’s names, date of the oral argument, docket number, a link to the opinion after it is released, a synopsis of the opinion when available, a RSS feed that updates when new videos are added and for future videos the briefs filed in the appeal will also be provided. This archive is similar to those hosted by St. Mary's Law for the Texas arguments and Rutgers-Newark Law for the New Jersey arguments.
]]> Archives such as these can be as teaching tools for law students to see both the good and the bad of appellate advocacy and perhaps more importantly can give a law school library a platform to connect with local attorney who can help a law library in many ways including donations.
]]> If you know of other schools that are providing this service please leave a comment and let us know. Also, if anyone is interested in learning more detail please see a MCSOL librarian. http://law.mc.edu/library/ If it has been a while since you came in the library computer lab you may be in for a suprise.
