If you are a new 1L, LLM, or MLS student, stop by the law library to get needed materials and complete your orientation. This is done on a drop-in basis.

• Come by the Research Services office (Room 112) across from the circulation desk during normal hours.
• You will meet and talk with one of our librarians, who will give you a scavenger hunt handout and IT information for your law school computer accounts. The scavenger hunt takes 20-30 minutes and will help you get oriented to the law library and IT services.
• Upon completion of the scavenger hunt, give your results to a librarian in Room 112, at which point you will be given registration information for Lexis, Westlaw, CALI, and Scholar, along with information on our legal research seminars and digital badge program.
• All students who complete the scavenger hunt will be entered into a contest for a $50 Amazon gift card; the drawing will be held August 24th.

Nineteen public libraries are part of OhioLINK; those libraries are collectively known as SearchOhio, which is the public library’s version of OhioLINK. By sharing resources, OhioLINK members have access to an additional 9.5 million popular materials and SearchOhio members have access to the circulating collection of OhioLINK. If an item you want is not available in the OhioLINK catalog, you may check the SearchOhio collection by clicking the ‘SearchOhio’ icon on the upper right of the screen. Enter your ID and password just as you would when requesting OhioLINK materials, and the material will arrive in the same manner as any OhioLINK book would arrive. Fine policies differ somewhat—ask a library staff member for details.

Consider using SearchOhio to:

• Request popular fiction or movies
• Get children’s books
• Borrow cookbooks, how-to books, travel books, or any other materials you’d traditionally get from a public library
