Services for undergraduates
Collections
Law Reserve Collection
The Library keeps a collection of the most heavily used text books in the Reserve Collection, near to the Enquiry Desk. These books are for use within the Library only (as is the rest of the collection), but are "wanded" in and out to readers, so that staff always know where they are in the Library, to prevent them being mislaid. This means that material on reading lists should always be readily available in the Library.
Law Bod 4 students
Law Bod 4 students provides scanned copies of articles that are not available online through the legal databases. For example, articles from LQR, PL and Crim LR.
Reading Lists
There is a video hosted on Youtube which goes through finding things on your reading list it can be seen in YouTube (where you can get it full screen) here or below.

The course is generously sponsored by Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and takes place in the Freshfields IT room in the Law Library.
