Web-Based Request Forms
To better serve faculty members, we use a custom-designed, password-protected database for initiating and managing faculty requests. The database automatically routes the request to the appropriate individual for action. Faculty members may also use the website to monitor the progress of requests. The Law Faculty Service Request Form may be used to initiate all of the services listed above.
Other Information
If you have questions about services that are not covered in this document, or need to discuss any aspect of Library policies and services, please contact Library Director Carol Parker at 277-0938.
Borrowing Privileges
Law School faculty members have special borrowing privileges at the Law Library. Research Assistants may check out material on behalf of the faculty member for whom they work.
Book Purchases
Faculty members play an essential role as specialists, and are encouraged to recommend new titles and other materials for purchase. Use the Document Delivery Web-Based Request Form to request that a book be purchased, or contact Michelle Rigual, 277-0678.
Rush Cataloging and Processing
Cataloging of items ordered by Law faculty has priority over other materials. If a faculty order was designated RUSH, the material is rush-processed, checked out, and delivered to the professor's mailbox. Questions about processing rush items should be directed to Michelle Rigual, 277-0678.
Photocopying
Faculty members, and research assistants working on their behalf, are not charged for photocopies or computer printouts made in the Law Library. The Law Library Circulation Desk can assist with copier account set-up.
