The Teach-In Resource Kit is the centerpiece of the National Legal Research Teach-In, an annual campaign that allows law librarians to share materials and ideas for legal research instruction. Each year the Research and Instruction Patron Services Special Interest Section Teach-In Committee solicits contributions from the law library community to create a compilation of materials for use in developing and advertising educational programs and events for law libraries. These materials are distributed several weeks prior to National Library Week in April to anyone interested in legal research instruction.
