2017 UVic Libraries Student Scholarships

The annual UVic Libraries Student Scholarships are now open for applications!

Continuing law students and grad students, have you made use of library resources for a paper, project, or assignment?

Research and citation help during April exam period

You may have noticed that the research help desk in the law library is unattended during the exam period.

Though the desk is quiet, research and citation help is available.

Students, you’re encouraged to email or phone the usual research help contacts. The law librarians receive email and phone messages at those contacts and will respond as quickly as possible, Monday through Friday. You may also make an appointment with a librarian for research help via email (lawref@uvic.ca) or the staff at the Law Library circulation desk.
