Writing a Paper? The Library Can Help!
If you are writing a paper this semester, the library can help. You can:
- Look at Library Research Guides – These online guides link directly to sources within Lexis, Westlaw and Bloomberg Law that can help you narrow your paper topic and conduct research. There are also links to CCH, BNA, HeinOnline and other databases you might be unfamiliar with. Our guides also point out free Internet sources that you might not necessarily come across by Googling. There are guides for specific topic areas, like Family Law, First Amendment and Current Issues in Intellectual Property, as well as a general guide for Law Review & Upper Level Papers.
and/or - Meet with a reference librarian. Reference librarians are available in Central Hower Room 322 from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Librarians are also available via phone or email. You can also make an appointment with Ms. Passmore, Ms. Souare or Ms. Altmeyer and let them know what you are working on, so they may pull sources for you ahead of time. Contact information for the library staff.
