Academic Success: Study Aids, Exam Prep, and More

Batelle Labs has been testing library materials to determine how long COVID-19 survives. On June 22, they released results that concluded that after 3 days the virus was no longer detected on books and DVDs.  The law library will be putting a process in place that will quarantine all library materials for a minimum of 72 hours after they have been handled.

Unfortunately, the need for a 3 day quarantine means that materials will not be available at the Circulation Desk for students to borrow as in the past.

• Textbooks will not be available. For publisher discounts, please check the page below.
• Print study aids will not be available. All of the law library's print study aids, with the exception of the Aspen Student Treatise series, are available electronically. See the page below for more information.
• Power cords, laptop tables, etc., will not be available.
