Most Library materials circulate to Law School faculty and staff for a semester. Materials on course reserve and in non-print media have more limited circulation periods as do other frequently-used resources. Materials will be recalled if requested by another patron.
Faculty and staff may renew materials online, by telephone, by email, or in person at the Circulation Desk.
Faculty members may designate research or faculty assistants as their proxies to check out Library materials on their behalf by submitting a completed proxy form to Jane O'Connell (, 471-7726).
Library staff members can collect Library materials from faculty and staff offices every Wednesday afternoon. To set up this arrangement, please contact Jane O'Connell (, 471-7726).
Materials may also be returned to the Library via the drop box in the Law School Communications Office, in the return box in the basement on the Dean Keeton Street side ofthe Law School building, or in the drop box in the faculty library.
The Library's document delivery service makes resources from other libraries available to faculty and staff members. Faculty and staff members using other libraries' materials should ensure that the materials are returned to the Library so that those materials can be returned to the lending institution within the applicable circulation period.
Proxy forms must be completed by faculty members who would like Library staff members to check out materials on their behalf from other UT Austin libraries.
