Welcome (Back)!
The RWU Law Library staff extends a warm welcome to our incoming 1Ls and returning 2Ls and 3Ls. Covid-19 has caused a uniquely quiet summer here at the library and we’ve missed you all so much! We worked diligently to make important safety updates to our services and we can’t wait to see you and catch up, whether you’re on-campus or virtual. As we all adjust to this new normal, we want to remind you of some handy links to our most popular services, so you’ll never be without your trusty Library!
Our collection and services complement and advance the scholarship, practice skills education, and intellectual life at RWU Law. We’ll communicate information in many ways to connect the library with our students, faculty, and alumni; our website, blog, Facebook page, Twitter, and Instagram are the best means of staying up-to-date on all the happenings at the Library!
The Library and its knowledgeable, friendly staff are here to help you have a successful academic year and they can assist you in using our various resources including:
- Legal and non-legal research assistance in-person, via Ask a Librarian, by email, or by calling 401-254-4547;
- RWU LawGuides, librarian-curated research starters covering a wide-variety of topics;
- Guides on Study Aids for the 1L and upper-class curriculum;
- The interlibrary loan service to obtain items not held at the RWU libraries;
