Law Library
At the heart of the law school is its library. Effective teaching, research, and scholarship are dependent upon easy access to a wide variety of legal information.
At present the Law Library houses some 160,000 volumes including microform and audio-visual items. The collection consists primarily of legal sources from Canada, Britain, the Commonwealth, and the United States; however, materials from other jurisdictions around the world are also represented.
Comprehensive collections have been developed in the areas of criminal law and criminology, administrative law, constitutional law, consumer protection, co-operative law, forensic psychiatry, critical legal studies, alternative dispute resolution, civil liberties, and feminist legal theory. The Law Library now holds a leading position in the fields of native law and international human rights.
The University of Saskatchewan Library's electronic information services provide easy access to the catalogue, other library collections on campus and around the world, indexes, and electronic books and journals.
The Law Library also subscribes to the major legal information retrieval systems such as Quicklaw, LEXIS/NEXIS, and WestlaweCARSWELL. The ultimate goal is to provide faculty and students with most of the information they require through computers in their offices and homes or through the wireless network which is accessible throughout the building.
A highly-trained and knowledgeable staff is available to help students and faculty with their research requirements. Students are also encouraged to use the facilities of the other campus libraries or the University Library's inter-library loan service.
