We are pleased tooffer a series of Law Library Tours and Library Workshops for Fall Semester 2007. The tours are offered on a "walk-in" basis. So are the workshops.

Touring the Robert S. Marx Law Library

For 1Ls and transfer student in particular but open to all. Meet the Public Services staff you will come to rely on for assistance throughout the next three years. Tour the premises of the Law Library to familiarize yourself with the arrangement and location of legal resources plus some mission critical equipment and services, namely photocopiers, course reserves, online catalog terminals, interlibrary loans, and bathrooms. This is a good time for scout out your study hideaway.

We offer one-on-one tours Mondays-Saturdays in August and September at 3:00 pm and group tours following the below schedules. All tours start at the Circulation Desk. If our schedule is not convenient for you, please arrange a personal tour of the library with Don Blair, Reference Librarian. Don can be reached at 556-2954, don.blair@uc.edu
