News from the law library
It is exhausting work studying for exams and submitting final papers.
Taking a nap during the day is a simple but effective way to boost productivity, enhance cognitive function, improve memory, increase creativity, and make you feel more rested.
The law library’s respite room is a perfect place to do just that!
Find the respite room (FRA 258) on the second floor, equipped with a bed, easy chair with a foot stool, and adjustable lighting.
Stop by the front desk to pick up the key today.
With the exam period quickly approaching, we wish to ensure we offer all law students the support and study environment that is needed at this time. We alert all library users to the following updates and reminders.

Room bookings
During this period all group study rooms and individual study carrels will be reserved for law student use only.
This will continue until law library staff see a significant decline in use by law students, or until April 28, whichever comes first.
During this period group study rooms and study carrels may be booked at the loan desk.
Research and citation help
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 in person or over Zoom.
Other supports
Remember that Amicus Team support remains available to law students throughout the year and that the law library’s respite room is available in case you need a quick cat nap – just ask for the key at the front desk.
