Student Computer Labs
There are two computer labs in the library, and both are restricted to use by law students only. One of these is the Computer Assisted Legal Research (CALR) Room on Sub-2 where you may have training sessions for Westlaw or Lexis. The other lab is located on Sub-3.
General Access Computers
Catalog Terminals: On each floor in the library, located near the central staircase you will find general access computers that are intended for searching in the library's online catalog. Anyone can use these computers to search the catalog and print out catalog results on the attached printers.
Research Terminals: On Sub-1, there are eight general access computers where students or anyone with a pass to use the library can do legal research.
Email Terminals: There are three computers in the hall near the Reading Room Stairs on the first floor of the Legal Research Building. These computers are intended for students and law school visitors to use for accessing email or other general Internet use.
