Guide to Public Records Research

The University of Baltimore Law Library Weblog alerts us to Genie Tyburski's very useful guide to "The Art of Public Records Research," available now on the Virtual Chase but originally published in the Nov./Dec. 2005 issue of The CyberSkeptic's Guide to Internet Research. The guide "explains important differences between public records, public information and private information [and] . . . introduces select public records databases and search techniques." Among other topics, it covers "finding federal court filings" and "finding clues in public filings."
