A few of you have reported that the notification feature of the Lexis Blackboard web course system is not working properly. Notification messages of new postings to the Lexis web course pages are not being generated and sent by the system. Lexis is working with Blackboard to isolate and fix the problem. Our IT department is also aware of the issue.

The failure of this feature has occurred at a most unfortunate time of the semester. Until Lexis is able to make the correction, it will be necessary for all users of the Lexis web course system to pro-actively check the web course sections and discussion boards for new postings. We will post any new information we receive on the Library Blog.

Visit the Lawsagna blog, which describes itself as "[a]lternating layers of thoughts, tools, tricks, tips and other ingredients for a successful learning experience in law school and beyond."

The NYLS Building Blog is the place for all you need to know, and all you want to tell us, about the Law School’s building project.

In the event of a transit strike, Mendik Library will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.  Extended library study hall hours will be suspended for the duration of the strike.  Additional Library information and notice of any changes will be posted on our web page and included on the Reference Desk voice-mail (212-431-2332).
