Nevada Revised Statutes 2013 Reprint is HERE!

The Law Library has received the NRS 2013 Reprint (if you want to order one for yourself, contact LCB Publications).  The copies in Reference and Ready Reference have been filed and the set located in the Southwest corner of the library by Room 104/105 should be completed by October 24th.  The 2013 Reprint has not yet been posted on the LCB's website, but we hear it will be uploaded in the next few weeks. 

ETA - the Law Library archives one copy of each NRS reprint, so if you need a NRS section from some prior year, please contact the Reference Desk (775-684-1640 or reference@nvcourts.nv.gov ).

Looking for Government Documents During the Shutdown?

HeinOnline is a good source for government documents generally and especially now with the government shutdown.  Check out the recent blog post on how to find government documents on HeinOnline:

The government may be closed for all non-essential business, but at HeinOnline we are hard at work to ensure that you have access to the most up-to-date information as well as historical archives for many government publications. Check out what we have in our U.S. Federal Agency Documents, Decisions and Appeals collection. Looking specifically for the Congressional Record or a particular Congressional Hearing? Try our U.S. Congressional Documents collection, where we update the Congressional Record Daily after each day of congressional activity and the Congressional Record itself goes back to inception! Also included in HeinOnline are the United States Reports, Federal Register, Code of Federal Regulations, National Labor Relations Board Decisions, and many more!

The Law Library subscribes to HeinOnline.  Court-affiliated users may find the login and password on the intranet.  Public patrons may access HeinOnline from one of our public access computers.  Ask for assistance at the reference desk.
