This service is now installed in the Uni- versity and state law libraries and can be supplied to the other larger law libraries. There are in excess of 25,000 3.'2x 5 cards, which r, quire about 15 cabinet drawers. In the evolution of legal research text books and periodicals are used more and more. Thousands of court opinions are added each year to the many thousands already extant. For the researcher to labor through and' analyze this maze of court de- cisions is often baffling, confusing and time consuming. But the text book writer, usually a specialist on the subject he writes about, not only covers his subject thorough- ly, distinguishing the various situations and phases and giving the history and develop- ment of the law, but he cites and often com- pares, analyzes and evaluates the court de- cisions. Unlike yesteryear, most of these texts are kept current by periodic supple- mentations. Legal periodicals are the most versatile of all legal material. They constitute a forum for the most critical analysis of varied legal topics and court decisions and they are particularly outstanding in their treatment of new legal developments. They are therefore a great aid in legal research. While it would seem that to quiikly find where a Washington case is considered in text books and legal periodicals should prove helpful, the value of this facility must be determined by how much it is used. It could be said to resemble Shepard's Washington Citator in that there must be a Washington case to start with, although its ultimate goal is a more comprehensive treatment of the principles of law involved and the citation and consideration of other cases. 'The work of keeping up this service will be done jointly by the University and the state law libraries. The larger county law libraries desiring to install this facility should' make request to the state law library at Olympia and agree to pay transportation charges. (Mas.) MARIAN G.
