The second edition of Illinois Legal Research shows how to find and stay current with Illinois cases, statutes, regulations, and local court rules. Focusing on state materials, it can be used as a supplement to national research texts or on its own to learn legal research. This book also explains how to locate secondary materials specific to Illinois law. Although the text was designed primarily for law students, seasoned attorneys will also appreciate the many secrets of Illinois legal research disclosed in this text. Wojcik's book includes materials on citing Illinois law sources under the Bluebook (for both law review formats and practice documents), the ALWD Manual, and local court rules. It is an essential book for any Illinois law library. This book is part of the Legal Research Series, edited by Suzanne E. Rowe, Director of Legal Research and Writing, University of Oregon School of Law. "The time was ripe for someone to step up and produce another great legal research book for Illinois. 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, on the first edition "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, on the first edition "A second helping is even more satisfying. When John Marshall Law School professor Mark Wojcik published his first [edition] in 2003, this magazine reviewed it and gave it a big thumbs up. With the Second Edition, Wojcik's winning ways continue... Wojcik knows all the sources of Illinois law, it seems. The latest edition shows why a state-specific research book earns its space on a practitioner's bookshelf." -- Kathleen Dillon Narko, CBA Record

Library work is really all about people. And the inclusive, welcoming nature of the library means that all kinds of people pass through its doors. Not all difficult patrons are dangerous, but some frighten staff and other library users, which can lead to situations that are distracting, troubling, and fraught with liability. For more than a decade, Albrecht, a 15-year police veteran, has presented workshops for libraries on dealing with challenging patrons. His no-nonsense advice will empower library staff in their personal security and give them the tools to confidently communicate with their colleagues, patrons, and members of law enforcement regarding inappropriate behavior. In this book he addresses security issues important to all libraries, including Specific guidance for common situations, such as unruly teens, unwanted sexual advances, chronically homeless substance abusers, and moreThe elements of an effective Code of Conduct and how to enforce itTips on how to manage internet usage to minimize potential problemsHow to align with patrons and use language that defuses the conflictForming partnerships with service organizations, homeless shelters, mental health advocacy groups, and other community resourcesHow to know when it’s time to call the police, plus ideas for increasing law enforcement supportWays to make the library more secure through changes to facilitiesThrough the methods outlined in this book, Albrecht demonstrates that effective communication not only makes library users feel more comfortable but also increases staff morale, ensuring the library is place where everyone feels welcome.

Serving Our Public 4.0: Standards for Illinois Public Libraries has been completely revised by a group of library professionals convened in 2017 by the ILA Executive Board. Months of task force work, input from public hearings, and feedback resulted in a newly designed document that is current to the changing needs of libraries and users. Serving Our Public 4.0 contains 13 chapters, including new ones for Youth and Young Adult Services, Building Infrastructure and Maintenance, and Illinois Public Library Resource Sharing Responsibility; and three new appendices. Serving Our Public 4.0 is not meant to be a one-size-fits-all document. Task force members struggled to find a balance between those libraries serving hundreds of people to those serving thousands and all of the library communities in between. Input from the Illinois library community and stakeholders served as the driving force that shaped this document.
