For upper-level law students, law clerks, and attorneys, Field Guide to Legal Research is not another exhaustive treatise but a concise, working person's guide to solving complex legal research problems. Much like a field guide, this book classifies problem types and matches them with appropriate legal research resources. It emphasizes "working the problem," "problem typing," and then application of problem types to the appropriate resources. Problems and exercises illustrate the application of constructs and techniques to particular situations. Coverage is much broader than in first-year legal research classes. The book includes problems based on government agencies, statistics, and even patent law. There are numerous "screen shots" and images to facilitate the learning process.

This book will show how to find and stay current with Illinois cases, statutes, regulations, and local court rules. Focusing on state materials, it will be a useful supplement to national research texts. It also explains how to locate secondary materials for Illinois law. While designed primarily for law students, seasoned attorneys will also appreciate the many secrets of Illinois legal research disclosed for the first time in this text. Wojcik's book also includes tips on correct citation of Illinois legal materials under the Bluebook, the ALWD Manual, and local court rules. "The time was ripe for someone to step up and produce another great legal research book for Illinois. Associate Professor Mark E. Wojcik has done just that.... [He] has provided what should be a very useful tool for anyone conducting state-specific research in Illinois. "Professor Wojcik has taken great pains to avoid glossing over the special sources commonly used in Illinois. In fact, legal researchers can use this book in conjunction with a standard national legal research text to suit all their needs."--Phill Johnson, Illinois Bar Journal (May 2004) "Not only is it perfect for law students, new lawyers, paralegals and lawyers new to Illinois, but it is also ideal for experienced practitioners who may have forgotten about basic research tools--or those who may never have learned about them. "[Wojcik] is witty, and he is thorough; he is creative, and he is careful. He teaches without being a bore--or a boor."--Bonnie McGrath, CBA Record (May 2004)

In 2003, the ACRP was authorized to conduct applied research to help airport operators solve shared challenges that are not addressed by other federal research. This report addresses: (1) the extent to which ACRP's processes reflect criteria for conducting a high-quality research program; and (2) ACRP's results to date and their usefulness for the aviation community. The report reviewed ACRP documentation and compared ACRP processes to criteria previously developed that can be applied to research programs. These criteria identify three phases of the applied research process and steps to help produce high-quality results. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication.

There has been an exponential increase in desalination capacity both globally and nationally since 1960, fueled in part by growing concern for local water scarcity and made possible to a great extent by a major federal investment for desalination research and development. Traditional sources of supply are increasingly expensive, unavailable, or controversial, but desalination technology offers the potential to substantially reduce water scarcity by converting the almost inexhaustible supply of seawater and the apparently vast quantities of brackish groundwater into new sources of freshwater. Desalination assesses the state of the art in relevant desalination technologies, and factors such as cost and implementation challenges. It also describes reasonable long-term goals for advancing desalination technology, posits recommendations for action and research, estimates the funding necessary to support the proposed research agenda, and identifies appropriate roles for governmental and nongovernmental entities.

Today, it has been said, the world is "flat," as online media allow information to move easily from point to point across the earth. International legal differences, however, are increasingly affecting the ease with which data and ideas can be shared across nations. Copyright law, for example, affects the international flow of materials by stipulating who has the right to replicate or to share certain kinds of content. Similarly, perspectives on privacy rights can differ from nation to nation and affect how personal information is shared globally. Moreover, national laws can affect the exchange of ideas by stipulating the language in which information must be presented in different geopolitical regions. Today's technical communicators need to understand how legal factors can affect communication practices if they wish to work effectively in global contexts. This collection provides an overview of different legal aspects that technical communicators might encounter when creating materials or sharing information in international environments. Through addressing topics ranging from privacy rights and information exchange to the legalities of business practices in virtual worlds and perspectives on authorship and ownership, the contributors to this volume examine a variety of communication-based legal issues that can cause problems or miscommunication in international interactions. Reviewing such topics from different perspectives, the authors collectively provide ideas that could serve as a foundation for creating best practices on or for engaging in future research in the area of legal issues in international settings.
