Two Internet Freebies Worth Noting

The internet these days is full of amazingly free information, from Google Scholar and its collection of legal opinions to Wikipedia and its huge collection of links to even more free things, such as a resource list for public domain images).  Two free things have impressed me recently. Even though one is really geared toward the marketing of a product, both resources deserve attention:

Adobe, the software giant, provides a series of “eSeminars” related to its Acrobat product line (y’know, the PDF guys), including one on January 15 entitled  “Acrobat 9 for Legal Professionals.” On top of that, the Acrolaw blog keeps a nice library of its prior video tutorials, all of which provide a great array of resources for using Adobe Acrobat in your practice.If you are a larger law firm or if you have clients that want you to take a stab at drafting social media guidelines for the workplace, don’t reinvent the wheel. Social Media Governance maintains a rapidly growing Online Database of Social Media Policies, which at last look had more than 100 policies from around the world, from About to Yahoo and all sorts of places in between.
