Researchers needing to search the Library Catalog only may use one of the two designated workstations.

Most carrels and reading tables in the library are furnished with Ethernet jacks for law students to use laptop computers to access the Internet and laser printers in the computer labs. Questions about connecting laptops to the network should be directed to the Lab Manager in the third floor lab or by telephone at 5-5875. The Law School has a wireless network which is available in the second floor Wilson reading room and at study tables and carrels on the upper floors.
