- Hello, my name is Dennis Miles, and I am a librarian at the Henry G. Bennett Memorial Library at Southeastern Oklahoma State University. Today I am going to show you how to do legal research. At first it may seem overwhelming, but as you learn how legal resources are organized, you will gain the knowledge on how to do your own research using legal resources.
- There are seven parts to this discussion, and you are about to enter part 1, the overview section.
- There is a research guide for Public School Law available on the Henry G. Bennett Memorial Library’s webpage. This guide contains information that you need to know to conduct research in Law. You will go to the SE Library main page at: http://www.se.edu/lib Then click on the Research Guides link Then scroll down until you find Public School Law
