This manual is designed to familiarize law students with the Legal Research Service (LEXIS), inform them of policies and procedures at the Tarlton Law School, and act as a reference tool by providing information on LEXIS not readily available elsewhere. A self-paced training manual workbook designed to assist students in developing skills needed for effective LEXIS use, it includes (1) instructions and training exercises for becoming familiar with the LEXIS primer, desk book, and other written materials; using the LEXIS simulator and flip chart to learn the key board and simple search strategies; watching video tape lecture demonstration modules of actual LEXIS use; and online practice; (2) a list of skills affecting effective use; (3) rules and policies regarding use at Tarlton; and (4) resource materials--a training checklist, an introductory bibliography, and current contents of LEXIS libraries.
