The Library provides a number of services to University of Texas law journals. Each journal is assigned a library liaison, a professional librarian who is available to assist journal editors and staff with research and facility use. In addition to the research databases made available by the Library, law journals also have access to all of the University Library's electronic resources.
Journals may request multiple borrower cards that allow checkout of materials from the law library to the journal. Please note that if a journal member uses their personal account to check out materials for journal use, these items will be checked out to the member rather than the journal. The Library will hold the journal member personally responsible for any late fees or lost items charges. Contact the circulation desk (,471-7726) for information on how to apply for borrower cards for your journal.
When the Library is closed for holidays, some non-circulating materials may be checked-out. Contact Melissa Bernstein (, 471-7292) if you need to check out these materials.
If materials are available at another UT-Austin library, a journal member must go to the UT-Austin library holding the material and check out the material on their personal account. Journal library cards are not valid at other UT-Austin libraries. The journal member will be personally responsible for any late fees or lost item charges incurred on their personal account.
Materials not available in the Library or other UT-Austin libraries can be obtained through Tarlton's interlibrary loan service (ILL) by submitting the online form.Journals may use the Library for book pulls and staff edits. These activities should take place only from noon on Friday until the Library closes on Sunday. Library conference rooms may be reserved online for book pulls during those times. The Library's circulation desk can also provide book trucks if they are available. Contact Teri Lloyd (, 471-7726) for more information.
Tarlton’s lawyer-librarians are available to provide research instruction on request on any of the following topics:
Journals and organizations may request use of the library's exhibit cases located in the atrium. As exhibits are generally changed only quarterly, journals and organizations should contact the library as early as possible to ensure that exhibit space is available. Library staff can provide advice on developing an exhibit. Contact Elizabeth Haluska-Rausch (, 232-3802) for further information.
