<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><img src="http://images.wisbar.org/Images/DigestEmails/BUB_FreeYourself_Wisbar-200w.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="92" align="right"/>If legal research brings to mind an endless slog through dusty tomes in a windowless room, you’re doing it wrong. Set those big books down, walk outside into the sunlight, and experience the future of legal research – <a href="https://marketplace.wisbar.org/BooksAndBooksUnBound/Pages/Books-UnBound.aspx">Books UnBound</a>. </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;">Whatever your research skill level and whatever the size of your firm, the Books UnBound online law library can take your research to a whole new level. Are you taking advantage of all these features?
</p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>Always current:</strong> Unlike print books, Books UnBound titles can be updated more quickly when landmark decisions and legislative changes occur. Chapter footnotes tell you when each chapter was last updated so you can confirm you’re seeing the most up-to-date information. </p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>Speedy searching:</strong> With keyword search, quickly search the entire book from any page. Or search your complete Books UnBound library from within a book. </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>Better than a Post-it<sup style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 0; ">®</sup> note:</strong> Bookmarking a section is as easy as clicking on the section title. The next time you go to the book, just click on the bookmarks tab to jump directly to the bookmarked section. No more scrolling! </p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>Never lose track of time:</strong> Research multiple cases at once and always know whom to bill. The built-in client billing timer keeps track of your reading time by client so you can stay focused. </p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>Less typing:</strong> Once you’ve found what you need, there’s no need to painstakingly type it all in to a document. With Books UnBound, simply copy and paste the content directly into your legal briefs without risking typos or other mistakes. </p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>Free Fastcase<sup style="font-size:
12px; line-height: 0; ">®</sup>:</strong> Whenever a federal or state statute, case, or administrative rule is cited in the text, just click on the link to go directly to the referenced information in Fastcase. These links open in a new window so you can toggle back and forth between your book chapter and the primary law material. </p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>Did somebody say “forms”?:</strong> Access more than 1,300 legal forms, checklists, and sample documents within the complete Books UnBound library. Download single documents as PDF or MS Word files – or download all the forms at once as a zip file. Then customize your forms so they’re exactly the way you need them. </p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>Access for all:</strong> Corporate subscriptions to Books UnBound let everyone in your office use the system at the same time. Bookmark sections and add your own notes without affecting others’ copies of the same book.

<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;">When you’re just starting out, building your network can seem daunting. Networking events and mixers aren’t for everyone.

This expands your network, enhances your resume, and builds name recognition.</li></ol>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;">That’s it. You can start building your personal and professional networks simply by being involved and invested in your profession.
