Related Professional Experience

As a member of the Law Library faculty, Sally Holterhoff teaches in the basic and advanced legal research courses. She also provides reference service, particularly for the Library’s depository collection of federal government information, and edits the Library’s newsletter, The Reporter. Outside the Law School, she is very active at the national level in professional activities for law librarians, serving as an Executive Board member for the American Association of Law Libraries for 2000-2003.

“I’m proud of our legal research program here at Valpo Law and how well our basic and advanced research courses prepare students to ‘find the law’ for their other law school courses and in their future legal careers. The focus of our library is on serving and supporting the legal information needs of our students and faculty.”
