I chose this image of a map displaying the states included within each of West's regional case law reporters. A law librarian must know where to find relevant case law and this map is a very useful tool for remembering which states' cases will be reported in which set of regional reporters. West is a major publisher in the legal field and law librarians are required to work with its vast array of publications. This Regional Reporters map is a convenient reference item that can save a law librarian time by avoiding the necessity of looking up, for example, whether New York's cases fall under the Atlantic Reporter or the North Eastern Reporter.
I searched Google Images for relevant images to my topic and found many photos, some flowcharts, etc. I also searched Google with phrases such as "law school tutorial" and "law library resources legal research" and browsed through several law school websites for relevant images. I saw this map at the website for the law library at Northeastern University and then followed a link from there to the West Group's website to copy this image.
The image may be found at the website cited below.
