Announcements

  • Save all Journal-related working files to your Journal's Dropbox folder (and NOT to the desktop of your office computer) so that everyone can access files when needed. 
     
  • Please do not leave any files open on your Journal Office computers overnight, as this causes problems with the system backups that occur each night.

Remote Access

If you need to work on a Journal issue over the summer and require access to a journal computer, you can request remote access by emailing lawitstudentsupport@umich.edu so you can use the Sheridan template to format your pieces. 

Note: this is if you need to format the articles/notes/etc. that will appear in an issue, NOT the specialty pages. See below for specific instructions for those types of files.

Law IT Resources for Journals

Check out the Law IT page for Journals for info on Word Templates, Journal Printers, etc.

Access to InDesign

If you need to use InDesign to edit your specialty pages over the summer (Covers, Masthead, Table of Contents (TOC) etc.) you can download the Adobe Creative Cloud, provided by the University of Michigan.

To access these programs, visit the University's Information and Technology Services page here: https://its.umich.edu/computing/computers-software/adobe-creative-cloud

 

Alcohol Policy

No alcohol is permitted in the Library (or on campus). Failure to comply will result in disciplinary action from the Dean's Office.

Branding & Logo Guidelines

The Law School Communications Office can work with you on marketing and promotional materials for symposia, etc.

Please be aware that all Journals must also adhere to the UM Office of Global Communications guidelines regarding University Logos and Trademarks, as well as the Guidelines specifically listed here for SSOs.

Bulk Recycling

If you have quantities of recycling too large for the custodians to take (ie. 100+ issues of old journals), ensure it is packed into the minimum amount of boxes possible and place it away from any items to be kept with a sign clearly marking it for recycling.
 

Coordinate with the library staff via the business email address for removal. The library staff will need to know how many boxes there are and where they're located to schedule a pickup with Recycling. They will then arrange to have them taken up to the loading dock.
