The law library made a number of improvements over the summer to enhance the study environment and services to law students, including: New chairs for the third floor study tables New energy-efficient lighting for all study carrels Erasable whiteboards now in all study rooms The reduction of printing costs to $.04/page A new arrangement in the library’s reserve room: Study aids and career-related books are now on the right when you enter, while treatises and Ohio material are now more spread out on the left. Regarding the study carrel lights, please remember to turn them off once you’ve finished studying.

One more thing: you’ll see that the library’s research guides have a new look. More on these in an upcoming blog post.
