If you choose to visit the library, you may be asked to show proper identification in order to use selected library materials. As a special service to alumni, reference librarians are available to help you locate relevant materials while on-site. Additionally, public access computers are available for alumni to use, but attorneys must use their own Lexis or Westlaw account passwords to access these online services. Some library online subscription, such as HeinOnline, are available for use by attorneys.
The librarians have also created multiple ResearchGuides that you may find helpful in your research that range in topics from North Carolina Legal Research to Art Law to Intellectual Property Resources.
