Discovery: NYU Law Library's New Catalog Features

This guide is an introduction to NYU Law Library's new search interface, called "Discovery."

Key Resources Page

The Key Resources page under the left-hand menu banner for "Research Tools" contains direct links to some of the most popular resources that NYU Law students and faculty use. Some of these resources may also be indexed in Discovery and Publication Finder, but they are highlighted as Key Resources to allow quick and easy direct access.

Links to Related Resources & Databases

The left-hand menu also has a "Links" section to other popular Law Library websites, including the Library homepage, Bobst Library (NYU's main library), Research Guides (written by NYU Law Librarians), and Databases.

The A-Z Database List is a professionally curated list of legal databases, organized alphabetically by name. NYU Law Library gives you access to many legal databases that can help you target your research in a particular area. The databases in the A-Z list are focused on particular legal subjects and/or specific jurisdictions, as well as legal historical material, statistics, and data.

Many books & journals resources may also be searchable by title in Discovery and Publication Finder, but browsing the A-Z Database List can make your search results more manageable and relevant when you already know your topic.
