Our professional library staff are here to help you answer these questions and many more. Although we may not be able to meet with you in person right now, our research services are still available to you. There are many ways that you can get research help:
Accessing library resources remotely: Law students may access many of the Law Library's resources remotely, including databases, online journals, research guides, and ebooks. To access our subscription online materials, you may be prompted to enter your UMID and password. The Law Library’s off-campus access guide can help you troubleshoot remote access issues.
Research guides & FAQs: You can also check to see if your question is addressed in our FAQs or our online research guides.
Virtual reference help: The library professional staff is available online to answer your library-related questions and for personalized research consultations.
