STUDENT MEMBERSHIP
台湾SWAG鈥檚 student membership provides you with the tools and resources you need to help start your career as a legal information professional and build your network when you graduate.
Law librarians continue to be a force in leading research initiatives and in this ever-increasing data-driven world鈥攕kills in research, collections, data curation, retrieval and accessibility have played an important role.
