The College of Law Library
The College of Law Library is designed and equipped to meet the demanding research needs of today's students, faculty members, staff and members of the legal community. With a collection of more than 137,000 hard-copy volumes and more than 125,000 microform equivalent volumes, the library provides research materials in American, British, Canadian and international law.
Holding 3,500 serial subscriptions, a large treatise collection, federal documents and a considerable legal audio and video collection, the library provides the primary and secondary sources needed for legal research. The college's online catalog, GIL, accesses both college holdings and materials in other libraries throughout Georgia. Our library users also have access to GALILEO (Georgia Library Learning Online), which is a system developed under a statewide initiative to improve information access in university libraries in Georgia. GALILEO provides a wealth of specialized electronic sources.
Given the importance of technology in law practice, students learn to access a variety of electronic information sources. In the college's computer lab our students can access word-processing software, legal research databases, computer-assisted instructional exercises, electronic mail, course-related discussion groups and the Internet.
In the required courses in legal research, our highly skilled professional librarians provide students with hands-on instruction for the techniques of electronic and print legal research.
