Loan Policy

The normal Faculty loan periods for various Law Library items are listed in the chart below. We encourage you to use Westlaw, Lexis, Bloomberg Law, Hein Online, and Internet resources from your office to find the material you are seeking.

The Law Library will pull items from the collection that you can pick up and check out at the Circulation Desk. We can also print out or copy articles from our periodical collection for you to pick up, or e-mail them to you in pdf. Send requests to lawcirc@syr.edu or to your liaison librarian.
