Hello everyone, I encountered a rather foul-mouthed individual between five and six o'clock this evening. He/she began the session requesting biographical information about Louis Riel. After demanding the information, the person adopted some pretty colourful language. I closed the session tab, but the person returned. Although fairly rare, I thought I'd pass along the information in case the person decides to reappear at another time of day. Regards, Shaun

Unfortunately the Law Library will not be able to cover the 1:00 to 2:00 pm shift next Friday. Would anyone be able to switch an hour of their shift with us any time next week, other than Friday afternoon? Thank you in advance, Regena Rumancik E.K Williams Law Library 474-6712
