Public access to government documents - Federal Depository Library Program

The Ray & Kay Eckstein Law Library is a participant in the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) and receives select publications from the Government Printing Office (GPO). Under the terms of the Depository Library Program these government documents are available for use by the public during all the hours the law library is open to the public. Patrons requiring assistance with government documents may request help at the Reference Desk during service hours.

Periodicals

Periodicals are shelved in alphabetical order on the fourth floor of the library. Subject access to journal articles may be obtained through LegalTrac, an online index available via MARQCAT, and Current Law Index and Index to Legal Periodicals, located on the fourth floor at the beginning of the periodicals collection. Periodicals in digital format may be accessed through various databases and subscriptions.

Law faculty may place course material on reserve, including lecture notes, exams, journal articles, and book chapters. These reserve materials will be available either in print at the circulation desk or in digital format.
