Who We Are . . .

The library is staffed by three librarians who specialize in foreign and international legal research. They are available for reference assistance, class presentations, individual research paper consultations, and other teaching support activities. The librarians also create topical research guides, select materials for the library, and work to maintain smooth operations of the library.

We also have four staff members who manage the day-to-day functions of the library. They can assist you with checking out books, locating materials, photocopy problems, and reserving a research shelf.
