Library & Technology Services

A resource guide with information about accessing electronic resources and Law Library and Technology services.

If you have questions at any time about materials you have checked out or would like to check out, email lawcirc@gmu.edu.

Check-out

We check out books physically, using your GMU ID, at the Circulation Desk. Most books in the Library circulate for a 3-week loan period. Items on Reserve circulate for 2 hours. If you have any concerns, email lawcirc@gmu.edu.

Return books in the designated bin outside the Library doors in the Atrium or at the Circulation Desk.

Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

For materials that we do not have within the Library or within one of our many online databases, we can try to borrow the material from another Library. We use the Rapido borrowing and lending system, which is built into the University Libraries Catalog. More detailed information is available here. In short, please request from within the catalog after signing in where prompted. If you need help locating or requesting material, please contact a reference librarian. For questions about the Rapido request form, turn-around time, or other request specifics, email lawcirc@gmu.edu. NOTE that we cannot borrow whole digital books. If the digital book is not available to Mason students, faculty, and staff, our borrowing options are limited to either a single chapter of the book, or to a physical copy of the book.
