However, to ensure the success of this system, it is incumbent upon the students and faculty to charge out all books before leaving the library, to reshelve books used in the library, and to return Reserve books within the prescribed time limit. Your help in maintaining the library is sincerely appreciated. Due to the specialized nature of a law library, most of the collection is non-circulating. Volumes in multi-volume sets, looseleaf services, reporters, digests, reference materials and periodicals cannot circulate because, by their very nature, each contains material that many patrons may need. CWRU students may check out circulating books at any CWRU affiliated library for 28 days, with one additional 28-day renewal.
All materials are subject to recall once the original borrowing period has expired.
Materials needed for Course Reserve are subject to recall at any time. Students owing fines at any CWRU affiliated library may not register, receive diplomas or obtain transcripts until all fines are paid. Patrons may borrow circulating materials from participating OhioLINK members by keying their institution, their name and university ID number. Borrowing periods for OhioLINK materials are 21 days with one additional 21-day renewal period. CWRU Law Library personnel cannot waive fines for faculty, students or staff at any library, including CWRU-affiliated libraries.
