Welcome On behalf of the entire staff, it is my
pleasure to welcome all new and returning students to the Law Library. We
hope you will find that the Library provides you with a comfortable setting
for legal research and study. All staff members work very hard to provide you with excellent library
support and services. We want to make your law school experience as rewarding
as possible and are always happy to help you with your legal research needs and
to provide assistance in accessing and using materials and information.
Please do not hesitate to ask for assistance, as helping you is what we enjoy
doing the most. When you are learning
how to conduct legal research, we expect to see you at the Reference Desk
often. Please remember that librarians don’t think there is any such thing as
a dumb question, unless it is the question you didn’t ask. For detailed information about policies, location of
materials, electronic database services, etc., please see the Law Library web
page at http://indylaw.indiana.edu/library/library.htm To help us better meet your needs, we encourage your
comments and suggestions. If you have any problems with Library services or
have suggestions for improvement, I am always happy to speak with you either in my office in the library, by phone at 274-3411,
or via e-mail at juanspac@iupui.edu. Judith
