Spring 2021 Library Announcements

 

The 2020 - 2021 academic year may look different from years past, with more social distancing and less in-person contact but your Law Librarians are here for you and available for research consults via phone, email or Zoom session weekdays from 9 AM - 5PM (or email for evening or weekend assistance). Students may contact their legal research instructor directly, email reference@law.villanova.edu or stop by the Circulation Desk. Faculty should contact their Library Liaison for assistance. 

Our online resources like the Research Guides and Law Databases (including CALI lessons) are always open and available 24/7! You can also search across our online materials (as well as those in Falvey Library's collections) using our Search.Law catalog search.

REMINDERS:

  • All seating in the library (carrels, tables or standing desks) must be reserved using our online reservation system prior to use. Reserve one on the spot by scanning the QR Code/link posted at the seat. Study rooms are still available too but are now limited to one student at a time to comply with social distancing requirements.

  • Our Law Library Book Concierge Service personal book retrieval service for members of the law school community is continuing this semester. New expanded checkout procedures include retrieval of the book, checkout and self-service pickup 24/7 on the first floor of the law library. QR codes/links to the request form are posted throughout the library too. 

  • Items from our Study Aids section have been moved on to Reserve to limit handling so request them using the Concierge Service form or ask for them at the Circulation Desk. All items on Reserve may now be checked out for one week.
