Law firm libraries tend to occupy far more space than their counterparts in corporations. The mean size of the law firm libraries in the sample was 3,207 square feet (about the size of 4-5 one bedroom apartments) while our recent study "Corporate Library Benchmarks" showed that the average size of corporate libraries, generally serving much larger organizations, was approximately 2,300 square feet.Square feet per daily visitor for the university law libraries in the sample was 105 while square feet per daily visitor for the law firm libraries in the sample was 180.The librarians in the sample noted that their firms spent a total of 11.27% of library staff time advising remote users (those not physically present in the library) on how to use the library's resources. The libraries in the sample used direct download from publisher web sites only a mean of 6% of the time when they needed access to articles in journals to which they did not subscribe or otherwise have access. Although the acquisition of articles through publisher web sites is still a minor factor in the legal article delivery market, the libraries in the sample report an 8% aggregate increase in such activity over the past two years. The librarians in the sample say that their libraries answered a mean of 25.18 email queries per day, or more than three per hour.

They also answered a mean of 19.52 telephone queries per day, or about 2.5 per hour. University law libraries took nearly 33 telephone queries per day.A third of the libraries in the sample experienced a decrease in the amount of office space allocated to them in the past five years, while 7% experienced an increase.The law libraries in the sample averaged 85.48 visitors to the physical location of the library per day, but the university law libraries in the sample averaged 383; the law firm libraries, a shade less than 18.Mean spending on salaries for the university law libraries in the sample exceeded $1 million.A bit less than 16% of the law libraries in the sample have a full time webmaster for the library web site and almost 22% of libraries with materials budgets greater than $350,000.A shade more than a third of the libraries in the sample expect an increase in their budget in 2005, while 10.71% expect a decrease. Larger libraries, defined in terms of their materials budgets, are more likely to expect an increase than smaller libraries. Tasks involved with selecting and paying for materials such as books, databases and other materials consumed about 16.7% of the time of the librarians in the sample and more than 18.1% of the total work time of law firm librariansMore than44% of the librarians in the sample plan to reduce print expenditures in the future in order to finance increases in spending on electronic materials The libraries in the sample tried a mean of 6.69 databases on a free trail basis in the past year. Law firms are still using CD-ROM databases to a far greater extent than other industries.

The mean number of CD-ROM subscriptions per library in the sample was 5.37, far higher than the mean of 1.3 in the corporate library sector (see Corporate Library Benchmarks, 2004-05 Edition ISBN# (1-57440-069-X). Law librarians generally felt that they were more strongly supported by organizational management than their counterparts in corporate libraries felt about the support they received from their organizational management. Only 4.8% of the libraries in the sample felt that management wanted to eliminate the physical library and replace it with an online information system or virtual library. None of the librarian's in the sample characterized their patrons as "uncomfortable using databases" and only a small percentage ? 15.9% -- considered their patrons to be "proficient researchers" while 42.1% said that their patrons "still needed help" and an equal percentage thought that their patrons could "make do". The librarians in the sample reported that they had ordered a mean of 11.02% of their newly purchased books through online book selling sites.

University law libraries were the most likely to use such sites and government libraries the least likely.A bit more than 17% of the libraries in the sample have a virtual reference system that utilizes some form of chat technology. Surprisingly, it was government libraries that were the most likely to have such a system and university law libraries that were the least likely, very contrary to our expectations. The report has more than 300 tables of data and is based on a questionnaire that posed more than 100 questions to 65 law librarians.

1. It must be searchable.
2. It must be in ASCII format.

And if you possess job experience that's highly relevant to the job in question, be sure to describe it in the most common ways that it would likely be searched on. Tip: Read through your completed resume and see if you can't describe qualifications, degrees, or job titles in multiple alternative ways throughout the resume. This will increase the chances you'll be found in an online search. ASCII Format: Your professionally laid out and formatted paper resume may end up looking like gibberish if simply transformed into an electronic copy. Programs like Word allow you to format nice looking documents with features such as tabs, bullets, centering, bold, italic and other word processing niceties.

Unfortunately, when converted to electronic form, many of these word processing features are lost. Worse, what's left over may bear no resemblance to the exquisite resume that you labored over to produce. Fortunately, there is an easy solution. You can prepare a simple text version in a text editor like Notepad or any of the dozens of other text editors out there. In this case, you'll replace many of these text effects.

For example, you'll replace bullets with asterisks, word wrap with a hard carriage return, and tabs and justification effects with simple spaces. Another solution is to use a program specifically designed for writing resumes like WinWay Resume Express. (See the "Do It Yourself Resumes" page at www.Impressive-Resumes.com to learn more about this inexpensive handy program.) It features an easy way to transform your resume into a searchable electronic version with very little effort after you've created the word processing formatted version. No matter which method you use, be sure you've taken these simple preparations for electronic distribution before you hit "send." This will greatly increase the chances that your resume will reach its intended audience. Copyright 2005 by Vincent Czaplyski, all rights reserved.

Since companies lose money every day a position remains open, advertising a job opening is seen by many as a non-viable approach. Roughly seventy-five percent of all job openings are therefore unadvertised, which means you will not see them posted on any of the job sites. You will not be aware of their existence. They are indeed hidden opportunities. It is absolutely worth your effort to find these opportunities.

Companies have learned to search for viable candidates using three fundamental strategies other than advertising: networking, using recruiters, and probing the job sites. So how can you take advantage of these approaches to tap the hidden job market? Networking isn't an approach exclusive to hiring companies. You, too, can engage in networking with all the people you know. As an extremely powerful strategy accounting for roughly 80% of all job fills, networking allows you to get in doors that would otherwise be impossible to enter. You can network your way into potential opportunities that can turn into the right job created just for you.

Networking is one of the best ways to tap the hidden job market! Screening and reviewing hundreds of resumes for accuracy and position viability is time-consuming. When the job-required personality doesn't materialize at the interview, more time is wasted. For this reason, more and more employers turn to recruiters for a more efficient hiring process. A recruiter uses exhaustive screening procedures as part of their candidate search process. They charge a fee to the employer for this service, but it is worth it in terms of time and effort.

Recruiters utilizing keyword searches scour the top job sites in search of candidates to fill their unadvertised job openings. Recruiters will find you as long as your resume is a match to the qualifications of the position they need to fill. So one of the best ways to capitalize on a recruiter's mission, and to indirectly tap the hidden job market, is to post your resume to the top career sites. It's a simple yet powerfully effective way to avail yourself of all the unadvertised positions out there, and take your job search to a whole new level.

However, for a cover letter to work, it must follow certain rules and meet certain standards. Below, you will find tips to help you meet those standards. By following these suggestions, you can perfect the necessary art of writing a cover letter. 1. Take Your TimeA cover letter is essential to your job seeking process; however, many overlook it or, worse, devote all of the energy to their resume and then throw together the cover letter as an afterthought.

This is not wise: Employers read the cover letter first. Do you want their first impression of you to be a messy and obviously strewn-together letter? Of course, not! You want it to be professional; so, take your time. Allow equal proportions of time to be spent on both the resume and cover letter; they are both important and deserve equal attention. 2. Be ConcisePotential employers want to read your cover letter; they do not, however, want to read a novel.

You must keep your letter simple and to the point?within a one-page limit, you have little room to maneuver. Use your space wisely. Offer important and necessary details, things that cannot be found in the resume. You have to make an impression in a short amount of time so make it count. Brevity is best.

3. Find Your StyleCover letters allow you to reveal your personality in a way that resumes cannot. While a resume is impersonal and factual, a cover letter can be laced with humor and style. When you write your letter, find a friendly, yet still-professional tone. Make the reader want to meet you.

A cover letter is a first impression; make it an enticing one. 4. The Name GameWhen possible, address your letter to the person who will be interviewing you. This will accomplish two things: 1. Give a sense of familiarity between you and the reader.

2. Show that you did your research on the company. Still, remember to keep it professional. Do not address the reader as "Sarah"; call her "Ms. Smith".

If it is not possible to determine who will be interviewing you, keep your titles more generic. 5. Turn The Focus On ThemDo not start all of your sentences with "I" or "My". This creates a self-focused letter. Instead, try to begin your sentences with "You" or "Your"; this allows the employer to see that you are wanting to work for them, not yourself.

With a little research to discover what the company is seeking for that position, you can focus on the needs of your employer. Explain what you can do for them; don't ask what they can offer you. 6. Originality CountsShow employers that you can step out of typical boundaries and create your own ideas. Try to keep away from standard formatting and see what best suits you.

Include details that, while perhaps not always included in the usual letter, can showcase your strengths. 7. ProofreadThe final step in writing a cover letter is to read and reread. Check for spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. While writing a cover letter gives you an advantage over those who do not, a poorly written one will make you seem worse by comparison.

These 7 steps may seem obvious, but many people ignore them; put yourself ahead of the competition. Follow these suggestions and create the perfect cover letter.

Let be the length of the chromatographic column, the pressure at the inlet of the column and the pressure at the outlet of the column, the distance of a point on the chromatographic column from its inlet. It is evident that pressure at point on the column can be determined from the correlationThe flow rate at any point on the chromatographic column depends on pressure at that point, as well as on the inlet pressure and the outlet pressure of the column. But the pressure at any point on the column depends on the inlet pressure and the outlet pressure of the chromatographic column and on the distance from the column inlet. Thus the flow rate at any point on the column in case of fixed physical parameters of the chromatographic column can be considered as a function of pressure at this point and at the ends and of the distance of this point from the column inlet;Consequently the whole process in the chromatographic column is characterized by a multiple of equations (3).When at the inlet and outlet of the column the pressure is kept constant, each section of the chromatographic column, through which the sample zone moves, is characterized by its equation from multiple (3). However the linear speed of the sample zone moving with the carrier-gas can be kept constant by programming the pressure gradient movement along the column in time, realizing the function: pressure - location - time by keeping constant the pressure difference  p at the ends of the chromatographic column during the whole cycle of the analysis (Russia Patent "Chromatograph of A.

S. Hayrapetyan"). The sample travels through the chromatographic column in timewhere is the length of the chromatographic column and the optimal speed of the sample zone.The pressure at the inlet and outlet of the chromatographic column, undergoing a change at equal intervals of time, is expressed bywhere - sample injection time, and - elution time. We mark by the sections of the chromatographic column travelled by the sample zone with an optimal velocity of the carrier-gas at the corresponding moments of time,where - the beginning of the chromatographic column, and - the end of the chromatographic column. Let at the moment the pressure at the inlet and outlet of the chromatographic column be correspondinglyThen at the moments of time on the corresponding sections of the chromatographic column, the pressure will beIt may be noticed thatas well asin this case 0 We build a matrix of pressures in the following way: let each line in it correspond to the pressures of the column at pointsat a pressure at the inlet and at the outlet of the column at a moment while each column corresponds to the pressures at a point at moments of timeThus the matrix has the following formThe first column of the matrix corresponds to the pressure at the inlet of the column, while the last one to the outlet.

They are chosen such that in the column zone where the sample is found at a definite moment of time, there will always exist a constant pressure corresponding to an optimal flow rate. The first column corresponds to the moment of sample introduction, and the last one to the elution of the separated components from the column. Each element of the matrix corresponds to a definite flow rate at a definite moment of time. To each element of the matrix there corresponds a definite flow rate and followingly its equation from the multiple (3). The matrix elements corresponding to the passage of the sample with an optimal speed through the corresponding points of the column at definite moments of time are marked in yellow.

For these it may be writtenThe carrier-gas pressure is programmed in such a way that it constantly secures an optimal linear speed for an imaginary point - the zone of the sample which travels with the carrier-gas from the inlet to the outlet of the chromatographic column in time, keeping  p constant at its ends during the whole cycle of the analysis. This arithmetical model (of Hayrapetyan - Aghababyan) of chromatographic analysis built on the basis of the equation of Van Deemter describes in detail the mentioned technological process of analysis organization and corresponds to that equation from the multiple (3) which provides the optimal conditions of the analysis and leads to the attainment of the maximum possible efficiency of the column (Hayrapetyan's Effect).In other words the pressure at the inlet and outlet of the chromatographic column is programmed such, that the carrier-gas flow rate in the column is optimal in each section at the needed moments of time. Thus, the separation of the sample is characterized by the equations from the multiple (3)and they are all equivalent to the equation (4)And thus the maximum possible efficiency of the chromatographic column is attained (Hayrapetyan's Effect).
