The Library's document delivery service allows faculty members to have books, articles, conference papers, and reports delivered directly to mailboxes in the Communication Center. Requests can be submitted in person at the Circulation Desk, through faculty liaisons, or online. The Library has compiled some frequently asked questions regarding the document delivery service.
Library staff members will also return books borrowed by faculty members from other UT Libraries. However, the books may not be returned on the same day. To avoid overdue fines, p lease send books from other UT Libraries to the Law Library at least 3 business days before the due date. For more information about the document delivery program contact Jeanne Price (, 471-7148).
Law School faculty members can request that the Library's copy of current issues of periodicals be routed to them. Faculty members should contact their liaisons and indicate the titles of interest or the areas of interest for routing. Routed serial issues are distributed to faculty mailboxes in the Communications Center.
Because several faculty members may be on the routing list for any one serial, it is important that materials circulate relatively quickly. Serials can be returned directly to the Circulation Desk or to the Library drop box in the Communications Center. Please photocopy articles of interest or request that the serial issue be returned after it has been routed to others on the routing list.
The Library's table of contents service delivers daily email notices containing the table of contents pages from more than 750 legal journals and law-related publications. Faculty members may select journals published within the United States or journals published abroad, or they may choose to receive tables of contents pages from all publications. Interested faculty members should contact their liaison to subscribe to the table of contents service.
The Library subscribes to the Legal Scholarship Network (LSN, a division of the Social Sciences Research Network that publishes a wide range of law-related working papers and article drafts accepted for publication. Faculty members may subscribe to any of the LSN journals. Access to the SSRN Economic Research Network and Financial Economics Network may also be available. Contact Jeanne Price (, 471-7148).
LexisNexis, Westlaw, and other electronic resources can be used to create automatic notification systems that will inform faculty members by email of new primary or secondary source material that relates to particular subjects or that is published by particular sources. Contact your library liaison for more information.
Tarlton can automatically notify faculty about the arrival of new books .
