Today the Law Library is launching two new services for faculty and students.  ScanIt is a free document delivery service through which copies of library materials are delivered electronically within two business days of a request.  For information about how to place a request and for more details regarding the parameters and restrictions of this service, please see our website here.

The Law Library will additionally be offering paging services for materials located in the Law Library stacks.  Faculty and students may request materials from the stacks and have them delivered to the circulation desk by simply locating the item in the library catalog and then clicking the “Request Item” button.  (See below.)  The materials will then be delivered directly to faculty offices. Students may pick up materials at the circulation desk.

ScanIt and paging services are being offered on a pilot basis. Questions may be directed to Melissa Littlejohn at lawlibscanit@cornell.edu.

Carrels are available for signup on a first-come, first-serve basis for 2Ls, 3Ls, and LLMs ONLY.

Students working on journals or as research assistants for professors receive priority and can sign up for a carrel a day early on January 21^st from 8am- 4pm. Regular signups will be on January 22^nd from 8am – 4pm. 

Two students are assigned to each carrel and students are encouraged to know who they want their carrel partner to be ahead of time.  Click HERE to learn more about the library’s carrel policies.
