Changes to Printing
"There is nothing permanent except change" Heraclitus 540-480BCE.
Uniprint have completely changed their printing system. You'll notice some things are the same but different.
The main impact of the change is the way you add funds to your ID card.
"It can't happen here" Frank Zappa 1966.
The only way to add funds to your card is to go to the UniPrintShop in the Central Library. Soon, you'll also be able to use the autoloaders (no, there are none in the Richardson Building), and we have heard rumours of another method.

LexisNexisNZ Knowledge Network launched
The Lexis Nexis NZ Knowledge Network is the go-to place for all their training and support. Look under the "legal tab".
You can sign up for webinars, read their handouts, or watch videos.
There's a LOT of stuff here.... .
If you need a refresher lesson on specific processes, eg, how to find a statute, you may find the suite of little short videos very useful indeed.
Still stuck? JUST ASK!!!

Busy Beavers Visualise Videos
While students and staff are heads-down sitting or marking exams, Carolyn and I have been busy making videos.
We hope to eventually create a suite of short videos to help you navigate through the maze of legal research, and share some of our hard-earned tips and tricks along the way.
For your immediate viewing pleasure, we have a Virtual Tour, and How to Find NZ Statutes in the Law Library, and How to Find Cases on a Statute. The latter 2 are on the Law Subject Guide Strategies page, along with a few other 'goodies' to aid your legal research.
The world of videos is a new foray for us, so every kind of feedback is very welcome!

The Dean says, It's the Law of the Jungle!
Mark Henaghan spoke to the NZ Herald last Friday, about the governments' latest family law reforms, sating
"The law of the jungle means the more powerful party will dominate," he said.
"We are abandoning people to their own devices, which ends up in more fights, more arguments, and that has consequences for the children."
