Congratulations to the Class of 2012!

Reminder to our new alumni: you can still use the Law Library, as well as many Library resources!

Until August 15, you are welcome to use the library and check out books, just as you did during school. After that date, you can come into the library and use the books and non-password-protected databases.

Password-protected systems have a variety of end dates for account access. For 2012 graduates, the default end dates are below. Contact the vendor representative if you have any questions about your account.

  • BloombergLaw access ends Dec. 31, 2012.
  • Lexis access ends June 28, 2012. (Sign up online to extend access until September.)
  • Westlaw access ends May 31, 2012. Limited access (to “career databases”)  ends May 31, 2013. (Sign up online to extend access — limited to 5 hours per month — until July 31, 2012.)

Portable desks

Several  portable desks are now available in the Law Library. You don’t need to check them out, but you do need to leave them in the Library. There are:

  • two in the copier room on the Main level, and
  • two at a small side table downstairs.

Please feel free to use them whenever you like, anywhere in the Law Library (but not outside of it.) We ask that you return them to their original location when finished.

Students: you can store your books in the Law Library.

Law students interested in storing research materials inside the Law Library can now reserve a book truck for the semester.  When you store books on your reserved book truck, library staff will leave them there (instead of shelving them or putting them in the lost and found.)

Some key points:

  • Book trucks are in the Law Library’s computer lab, and must remain there at all times.
  • Only books may be stored here. This can include your personal books, books from other libraries on campus, or books you have checked out from the Law Library.
  • All Law Library items stored on your book truck must be checked out to you. Please do not pull materials off the shelves and leave them on your book truck without checking them out, even for a short time. Get a colored flag from the Service Counter for all Law Library materials you will be storing on your book truck, so that staff know which items should be there.
  • The Law Library is not responsible for the security of anything stored on a book truck. This includes Law Library items – Law Library items lost, stolen or damaged while on a book truck are the same as Law Library items lost, stolen or damaged anywhere else. You are still responsible for overdue or replacement charges.

For more information, see the Book Truck Brochure or speak to a Law Library staff member.
