Resource Arrangement

Maps of the Library

The Law Library uses the Library of Congress classification system to arrange most of its print and microfiche collections. The Superintendent of Documents classification system is used for federal documents. Case reporters are arranged by jurisdiction. The library also subscribes to several electronic resources that are accessible from computers on the second, third, and fourth floors.

Second Floor services include: circulation, reference, interlibrary loan, a 30 terminal computer lab, study rooms, and audio visual rooms. The Second Floor houses several collections: reference, reserve, unbound periodicals, government documents, videotapes, current newspapers, and the popular reading area.

The Third Floor houses regional and federal case reporters, digests, the American Law Reports, Shephard's citators, state statutes, treatises with Library of Congress call numbers: KFA through Z.

The Fourth Floor houses most of the library's treatise collection, classified A through KF. Bound periodicals are also on the Fourth Floor, arranged by call number but also shelved alphabetically by current title.

The First Floor houses study tables, a group study room, computer training lab and library storage rooms.
