A Visit to the Nuremberg Trials Museum

A law librarian here has returned this week from a vacation in Germany, where, not surprisingly, she included courthouses, libraries, and museums on the itinerary. We're pleased to share some of her photos of the Memorium Nuremberg Trials Museum. She notes that Robert H. Jackson was discussed several times in the museum, and they had a tape running with his opening statement at the International Military Tribunal.

Some good background can be found in this article from an American newspaper covering the museum's opening in 2010.

Tech tip for working with screenshots

If you find yourself opening a jumble of applications to work with screenshots, here's a tip from our Windows software maven: the snipping tool in Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 is easy to use and lets you add notes, save, or email in only one or two steps.

You can capture shots in several forms: free-form; rectangular; window; and full-screen. You can then edit the image with the use of the pen, highlighter, or eraser tool. And you can also save in various formats: as an HTML, PNG, GIF, or JPEG file.

You can even email the image right from the snipping tool window.

You can find this handy accessory by typing snipping tool in the Windows start menu search box. Instructions are available from the snipping tool window.
