Jenkins Law Library: Really On Your Desktop

For several years we've offered a CLE webinar on our remote-access databases. Now we've taken it a step further by placing our whole facility at your fingertips. We've just added a Google Street View virtual tour of our space.

You can check out the digitized portraits at 3:00 am. (Are the eyes following me?)

Or sit in your favorite comfy chair and read today's Inquirer. (Oh, wait, you can already do that with NewsBank.)

And it's even better than real life. The doors to our Rare Book Room are wide open and you can step right on in and check out the bobbleheads.

If you could figure out how to work the virtual coffee machine, that would make it perfect.
