This year, there are two significant changes to our study room policies:

• First-come, first-served policy for some rooms. Four study rooms (2080, 2082, 2084, and 2088) are now open for unrestricted use by UCI Law students. There are no check outs, no overdue fines, and no group-use requirement. (Standard library rules still apply.)
• Three-hour checkout for the rest. The other six Group Study Rooms are restricted to groups of two or more, and you have to check out a key at the Service Counter. These rooms check out for three hours at a time.

Please speak to a Law Library staff member for more information.

 

The Law Library will be closed on Thursday, July 4th because of the of the holiday. We will reopen with our standard summer hours on Friday, July 5th.

Westlaw printers in MPAA will be leaving before August 1 because Westlaw is removing all support for law school printers this summer. In email communication with law school contacts, Westlaw representatives cited several reasons:

• Practitioners do not have designated printers, so students will be more prepared for a practice environment.
• Practitioners prefer electronic document options like highlighting, adding notes, using folders, and email.
• Promoting electronic alternatives to print is consistent with Thomson Reuter’s environmental goals.
• Printing is now less than half of what it used to be before WestlawNext was launched.

Lexis printers, however, will remain where they are.

Questions? Contact UCI Law’s Westlaw Account Manager about printing or saving from Westlaw.

Looking for a new place to study? The UCI Libraries have created a handy and comprehensive tool for locating study spaces all over campus, and it’s not just limited to libraries. You can look up hours, filter by categories (open late, group study spaces, quiet study, etc), and also use it to the find the study space closest to you. Check the main UCI Libraries website under About > Visit > Study Space Locator.

Before venturing out and about, please note the “Use Restrictions Apply” designation when it appears, and click on the linked text for more information about those restrictions.
