Seminar Paper Research

When researching your article look at the following:

• Check to see if someone has written a research guide on the topic!  See our research guides at  http://guides.libraries.uc.edu/lawlibrary. 

• For interdisciplinary subjects, check one of the UC Library Subject Guides, http://guides.libraries.uc.edu.The subject guides are developed by UC librarians who specialize in that subject in order to find applicable indexes and full-text sources that you will then need to search.  Remember that not everything is electronic!  Each subject guide will also have the contact information of the subject specialist who developed that guide.

• Check to see if someone has written a bibliography for the particular topic.  This could be in book or article form.  For example, Susan M. Boland & Therese Clarke Arado, O Brave New World - Electronic Voting Machines and Internet Voting: An Annotated Bibliography, 27 N. Ill. U. L. Rev. 313 (2007).

Always check UCLID first to see if a book is available in our library or another UC library. Note that even if checking out a book for a UC journal, YOU and not the journal are responsible for that book.  Be sure and renew and return your books as needed.

When you find a title through UCLID, the online catalog, that is owned by another library:

• Click on the Request button. 
• Enter your username and password
• Select Law Library as your pick-up library
• Click on the Submit button.

The book will be delivered to the Law Library and you will receive an email in your UC email account when it comes. Be aware that it may take 3 or more days to arrive. Note that if your pick-up location and request location are the same, the request is not processed. In other words, if a book is available in the law library, do not request it. Instead retrieve the book yourself and check it out.

 If a book you want is not available at UC, you may be able to find and borrow it through the OhioLINK.  Be sure and check UCLID first.  OhioLINK is also accessible through UCLID (click the search OhioLINK button)
