This guide informs on finding articles and covers legal and interdisciplinary databases, newspapers and working papers.

Steps To Find Print Material in the Library

  • Search Julius. the Law Library's catalog:
    • You can search by author, title, or keyword.  There are other available fields.
    • For articles, search for the journal title. Articles are not in Julius.
    • For help on searching Julius.
  • From the Julius record, check the status of the item. If available (i.e. not checked out), note the location and call number for the item. (For examples, see the red boxes in the image to the right).
  • Locations in Julius records correlate to areas within the Library (Reading Room, Reserve, B2, etc...)
    • Consult the Library Maps or ask Library staff for assistance. 
    • Certain areas in the Library are generally closed to patrons.
      • For materials from the Cohen Rare Book room, Ask a Librarian for assistance.
      • For materials from B5, go to the Circulation Desk and place a retrieval request.
  • The call number, found on the item's spine, can be used to find the item in the pertinent area in the Library. If you only know an item's call number, you can often determine the area in the library where the item is located by consulting the call number guide.
