Our Law Librarians are a lot like detectives. We search and navigate through all types of legal resources to find the answers to legal research questions. Although Sherlock Holmes is a legendary fictional character that was created by Scottish writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, there are definite analogies between what law librarians do and what Sherlock Holmes accomplished in solving crimes. We help our patrons find the answers to legal research puzzles, and Sherlock Holmes helped local law enforcement officials find criminal perpetrators. As a result, the Law Library is happy to recognize Sherlock Holmes Day this coming Sunday, May 22, 2022. Although there are many great books and movies, including the movies with Robert Downey, Jr., make sure to try the fourteen film series which originally aired from 1939 through 1946 starring Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as his trusty sidekick Dr. John Watson.
Celebrating CLEVNET!
December 01, 2022
On this day, 40 years ago, CLEVNET was created. What started as a small consortium between the Cleveland Public Library and the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library, has expanded across Ohio. Today, CLEVNET has 47 member libraries that operate in 12 counties and proudly serve nearly one million people across Northeast Ohio. The CLEVNET system benefits libraries and patrons, alike. Through this partnership, CLEVNET libraries can share cataloging services, administration, computer equipment, professional support, and consolidate their circulation. As a patron of a CLEVNET library, you can access the vast collections of every participating library, that is over 12 million items at your fingertips. CLEVNET has been vital to the library ecosystem of Northeast Ohio. The Cleveland Law Library has been a proud member of CLEVNET since 1985. We are here to congratulate CLEVNET on this momentous milestone! Here’s to another 40 years!
