WSLL Recommends: Art Law Books on Display

An alcove in the reading room of the library regularly features rotating book displays on a variety of topics. Our recent installation is on art law.

If you're an art entrepreneur, museum professional, or represent artists, check out these books for information about the legal aspects of making and preserving music, visual art, and performing arts. If you can't make it in to the library, check out the display online. Check one out in the library or by mail with your library card.

BadgerLink Quick Research Guides

Legal research databases are essential tools for any practitioner. We round out our legal research standards of HeinOnline, Index to Legal Periodicals, and LegalTrac with journals and newspapers available through BadgerLink.

BadgerLink is a statewide collection of magazines, newspapers, and scholarly articles available to all Wisconsin residents. Several of these are linked through our website and catalog and can be accessed with your library card.

Because your time is valuable, BadgerLink created several quick start Info Sheets for those who need a quick introduction to a database before starting a research project. Get Info Sheets, videos, and more on BadgerLink's training page.
