The library can help you with GWR papers in two ways:

1. Meet with a librarian: Stop by the reference desk, or make an appointment. If you make an appointment, you can tell us what you are working on, so we can pull sources ahead of time. Or, you can ask questions via email or phone. Contact Sue Altmeyer, saltmeyer@uakron.edu, (330) 972-7764, or Kyle Passmore, passmore@uakron.edu, 330-972-6352.

2. Use online library guides: Library guides link to resources on Lexis, Westlaw, Bloomberg Law, other databases and various web sites.  There are guides specific to: Family Law, International Law . Prosecution Function, Real Estate Financing Law and Sports Law, as well as a general GWR Papers guide.

The library has bagels, munchkins, granola bars, Smartfood popcorn and Kcup coffee available for bar takers TODAY.

In case you didn’t hear, the library at the law school is open!  We have lots of quiet study space, although most of the study rooms are not open yet.  If you want a sneak peek of the newly renovated library, take a look at the library’s Facebook page.

Students and faculty have 24/7 keycard access to the law building and the library.
