The fall semester is drawing to a close but the Law Library continues to be buzzing. The atmosphere is bustling with students finishing papers and assignments. Exam preparations are underway! As the push to finish outlines and studying begins, we offer a few suggestions for the final weeks of the fall semester.
When preparing for exams, planning collaborative studying with classmates need not be challenging by using the three group study rooms available. They are reserved for 2 hour blocks of time. Please remember to reserve them ahead of the time before your group meets for your study session.
If you aren’t familiar with it, Mersive Solstice equipment is available for wireless content sharing in study rooms 202, 203, and 209. This display allows you to share content from laptops or other devices through the wireless connection or via the keyboard and mouse that are supplied in the study room. There are instructions for using Solstice affixed to the wall in each of the rooms.
We ask that you be mindful of others who may wish to use these rooms for collaborative studying and not monopolize them.
The Law Library offers other areas for individual quiet studying with rooms 207 and 208. These are smaller rooms suited for an individual or small group. On the lower level of the library there are carrels and soft seating for reading.
The close of the semester is a good time to consider returning those research materials borrowed through “I Want It” or Interlibrary Loan that you no longer need. Please return these items to the circulation desk and the library staff will check them in.
Course reserve materials will also be available through the end of the semester. Print reserves are shelved behind the circulation desk if you need to borrow a particular book before exams begin. Please note that print reserves circulate for 2 hours.
Online articles and chapters are accessible in electronic format through the University Libraries website.
If you have questions or need assistance, please ask the Law Library Faculty and Staff.
