Professor Newman began her career in law librarianship at New York Law School, where she served as head of reference services and as an adjunct professor of law teaching Advanced Legal Research. Immediately before coming to Pace, she served as associate director for public services at the University of Pennsylvania School of Law; as an adjunct lecturer there, she taught Research in Federal and State Law. Professor Newman was the associate director of the Pace Law Library from 1993 until 1998, when she became the acting director; she was appointed the director of the Law Library in 1999. She has taught Advanced Legal Research, an upper-level elective course, at Pace since 1995. She has written in the areas of women and bankruptcy, legal education, and international sales of goods. Her article published in the Law Library Journal concerns quality control procedures for legal databases on the internet, a subject on which she spoke at the 1998 meeting of the Association of American Law Schools. This article won the Law Library Journal Article of the Year Award in July 2000. Professor Newman served as a member of the West Legal Research and Writing Advisory Board, and on the advisory board of LLMC, a consortium of libraries devoted to providing economical access to a wide range of legal and law-related materials in digital form. Professor Newman serves as the Database Editor for Pace’s award-winning database on the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
