You can now email yourself a list of titles from the Library’s online catalog. After conducting a catalog search, click the Keep button next to the records you want to save. When finished, click the Kept button located in the menu bar at the top of the screen. Type your email address into the blank box and click the email button. The online catalog will send you an email with the subject line “Schaffer Library catalog records.”

As a courtesy, the library will email notice of impending book due date 3 days before actual due date. We hope this will make it easier to remember due dates and avoid those fines! Book renewals may be made in person or by phone (445-2340) during business hours.

Over the next few months, you may notice some changes happening to the law library. One of these changes is we are getting rid of the manual card catalog!
