Reference Policy

Reference assistance is educating the user so that they can locate the proper information and be able to use the materials knowledgeably the next time. Reference is providing users assistance so that they may select and use appropriate legal materials and information. This includes locating information on a topic for research. The reference staff member will be guided by input from the user. At no time is legal advice or legal interpretation given. If legal advice is required, then the user may wish to hire an attorney.
