Reference librarians staff the reference desk for 74 hours a week when classes are in session. The reference staff will instruct you in the use of the specialized resources available. Special services are also available for law faculty. However, law library employees are prohibited from giving legal advice. The reference desk phone number is 501-324-9970.
Our document delivery service will copy almost anything in the library collection for you. Material is delivered by fax or mail, or may be picked up at the circulation desk. Document delivery is open Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Charges for this service vary. Contact Document Delivery at 324-9991 for pricing information or to place an order.
If the book or article you need is missing, or if the Law Library does not own it, ask the reference librarian about interlibrary loan. UALR law students and faculty and Pulaski County attorneys and judges can usually borrow a book or obtain a copy of an article from another library free of charge. Occasionally, the lending library charges a fee. If this is the case, the charge is passed on to attorneys, but the Law Library pays it for faculty and student borrowers. If the material needed is short in length, the Law Library staff may be able to obtain it the same day via fax. If you need information about an item you are waiting for, contact ILL at 324-9991.
Computer Assisted Legal Research
The reference staff provides training to the first year students on Loislaw.com, Lexis and Westlaw as part of the Legal Research course. Additional training for students can be obtained upon request. Contact a reference librarian or student representative for more information.
Students who have received LEXIS, Loislaw and Westlaw training can perform law school research on their home computers after agreeing to the terms of use and receiving passwords. Contact Melissa Serfass or a student representative for details.
