In order to protect the equipment in the computer labs, Georgetown Law asks that you not bring drinks into any of the computer labs.  
You are free to bring drinks in closed containers into other parts of the library.

 

All jobs, except for RAs, are posted on the student employment page listing job descriptions.
Students are invited to view the job descriptions and contact supervisors directly to inquire about availability.

Very soon. New chairs are arriving in mid-August, and we should have all new chairs by the time classes start this Fall.

Eventually we're replacing all of the chairs in the Robert L. Oakley Reading Room of the E.B.Williams Law Library.  We'll begin by first replacing chairs in the reading room balcony, and gradually we'll replace every chair in the reading room itself.  We'd like to thank those students who provided comments to help us select these new chairs.  The chairs were selected based on direct student input, together in consultation with eronomics experts from various chair manufacturers.

The existing chairs we're replacing will be integrated with seating options in McDonough.

We hope you enjoy them, and expect that we'll have all of the new chairs in time for the start of the Fall semester.

You can.  The library has installed a free self-serve digital scanner in the computer area next to the Williams Reading Room Reserve collection.  Georgetown students can use the machine free of charge.  

Simply enter your Georgetown Law netid and password and you can scan pages from a book on the flat-bed scanner, or use the page feeder feature on the top of the machine. The scanner will automatically send a pdf copy of your scan to your email address.

This is one of three self-serve digiscanners in the library.  One more is on the third floor of Williams and the third is at the Circulation Desk of the Wolff Library.

The Technology Reference Desk on the 3rd floor of Williams is staffed by members of the IST team of information technology specialists. During the academic year, the office is staffed from 9 am to 6 pm every weekday, excluding University holidays. During the Summer Session the hours are 9 am to 4 pm. Students may also contact them by email at studenthelp@law.georgetown.edu or by phone at: 202-662-9284.

If a technician is not available when you stop by, please leave a note with your contact information and a representative will respond promptly when he or she returns.

 Original plans for the library space in the Hotung Building did not include water fountains. Over time we have explored alterations in plumbing and other options and so far none has been deemed feasible without major alterations either in the building or the current arrangements for our water supply. 

We have recently explored more "low-tech" options but these are not entirely practical for public use (as opposed to office use, like a dispenser) but we have our options open and continue to seek a solution. Fortunately there is a café area in close proximity that is open during the regular academic year.

We recently relocated the reference desk to a more central location across from the Wolff Circulation Desk.  You'll see us there when you enter the Wolff Library.  Past surveys indicated that some students were distracted from their studies by reference desk interactions at the previous location.  Now that area will be quieter and the reference desk will be more convenient to our patrons! 

Yes! The Georgetown Law Library recently installed a new digiscanner in the Wolff Library, by the Circulation Desk. The scanner is designed to be self-serve, and as easy to use as a photocopier.

It is available to the entire Georgetown Law community. Simply enter your Georgetown Law netid and password and you can digitally scan documents either through the page feeder or the flat-bed scanner. The machine will deliver digital files as email attachments.

To make it even easier for you to use it, the library has posted simple instructions next to the digiscanner.

There is another self-server scanner on the 3rd floor of Williams, by the Technology Help Desk.

If you want more control of how you scan and edit your digital image, the library has another scanner connected to a computer with editing software in the Computer Help Desk in the Williams 3rd Floor Computer Lab.

Thank you for your comment.  Your feedback is invaluable to us. The university regularly evaluates the placement of our GoCard machines and other vending machines on campus so that we can provide services that balances the comfort of our users as well as minimizes waste.  We are happy to share your comment with the office that administers the GoCard service on campus.

If you have a Georgetown NetId you can always add money from your computer by visiting the GoCard Online Card Office.

Thank you for taking the time to explain how you use GULLiver, our online catalog.  This kind of feedback is invaluable because it lets us customize the catalog to meet your needs. 

Currently, GULLiver identifies everything on the 4th floor of Williams with the location of "4th Floor."  Items on the 4th floor of Wolff are identified with the llocation "INTL."

Based in part on your comment, we are revising how the catalog displays the location of materials in Williams.   Once we are done it will be even easier to quickly find the resources you need.
