Welcome (or welcome back) from the law library

At the library, the beginning of the academic year is always an exciting time. Everyone is eager to meet our amazing new students and welcome back our amazing returning students, so do make sure to come visit.

New students should have met their Personal Librarian during orientation this week. Along with your Research Methods professor, your personal librarian is a great resource when learning how to navigate law school. Don’t hesitate to reach out to them if you need help with anything library-related.

Returning students should come by and let us know about any exciting legal research you did this summer. We are also always trying to provide a better environment for the law school community, so don’t hesitate to let us know how we can help you have a successful year.

Law students are usually pretty busy, so here’s a very short guide to some of our most popular services:

Study rooms. Law students, get your study group together and book one of the library’s study rooms.
Study aids. Online study aids are increasingly popular, and this year we’ve added Lexis Digital Library to our offerings in this category. If you prefer print, our collection of study aids is on the 5^th floor.
ALERT. Get a head start on legal research (and other topics) by attending an ALERT session. The first topic is “Approaching Your Research Problem” on Monday, 8/21 at 5:45pm (Room 345), or Wednesday, 8/23 at 3:15pm (Room 242).
Social media. Did you know that the library is active on social media? Indeed, we just started an Instagram account, and we would love for you to follow us there for all of the latest news from the library.
