Books
While
the library is primarily a reference collection, law faculty (both full and
part-time) may check out books, videotapes, and other materials for use outside
of the library. Law faculty may request office delivery of library materials
by contacting any member of the circulation staff. If
a requested item is unavailable, staff will notify the faculty member and
discuss alternative means for obtaining the material.
In
addition to books, the library has a collection of videos, audiotapes, and
interactive CD-Roms that may be useful in your classes. The interactive CD-Roms
and many of the videotapes are simulations of legal situations and transactions.
Some videotapes and DVDs are law-related feature films. Contact anyone in
the circulation or reference
departments for assistance in locating CD-Roms, DVDs, videos or audiotapes.

The library can make images, Word documents, pdf files and web page urls available
through the library's course reserves database. These items will display on
the faculty member's course reserves page. All electronic items (except urls)
are passworded — only CUA Law students can access electronic reserves.
The library can scan items and convert documents to pdf. The same copyright
restrictions apply with electronic reserves. Contact Frances Brillantine (brillantine@law.edu, 202-319-4331) with electronic reserve requests.
Exams
All
exams submitted to the library for reserve are made available on the web.
The exams are all passworded — only CUA Law students can access them.
Electronic exams are very popular with the students since they are so easy
to access and print. Exams from 1970 - present are available on the web and
new exams are added each semester. Please contact Frances Brillantine (brillantine@law.edu, 202-319-4331) for further information.

All exams submitted to the library are also bound in volumes by semester and year.
The bound exams are located in compact shelving on Floor 4. The bound exams
are not indexed past Spring 2000.
Interlibrary
Loan
If
you need books or articles for your research, the circulation staff will obtain
them for you. If the materials are in the law library collection or available
at Mullen Library (on campus), we can get them to you very quickly. If we
have to borrow them from another library, it takes about two weeks, depending
on availability. We can obtain materials on a rush basis (depending on availability)
by sending a staff member to another library when necessary. Contact Dawn
Sobol (sobol@law.edu, 202-319-5156) with
your interlibrary loan requests.

indicate that at the time of your request. Contact
