Very few of the materials in the Ruth Lilly Law Library circulate. Those that do circulate can only be checked out by law faculty, law students, IUPUI graduate students and other libraries. Materials are available to attorneys and the general public for use in the library only.
Nothing circulates from the Law Library except one-volume monographic items (also called "treatises") from the classified collection. Any item which forms part of a multi-volume set, has a pocket part or is looseleaf in nature does not circulate.
Examples of materials that do not circulate are:
All Faculty Reserve materials have cards and pockets on the inside of the back cover. When checking out an item, simply write the date and your name on the card. The desk attendant will ask you for your student identification card (OneCard) or driver's license which will be retained until the Faculty Reserve material is returned to the Circulation Desk.
One-volume texts and treatises from the general collection (i.e., non-reserve) are circulated on an automated circulation system. One Cards must be presented at the Circulation Desk to check out materials.
Students who have not returned library materials at the end of the semester will be checklisted. Checklisting will hold up all grades, transcripts and diplomas.
Library materials that are currently unavailable may be requested by placing a hold on them. Contact a Reference Librarian or a Circulation Supervisor to place a hold. When the material is available the requestor will be notified and the item will be held at the Circulation Desk for three days. After three days it will be returned to the collection.
