Inquire at the circulation desk for retrieving items held in the secured reserve room. A directory near the elevator on each floor shows which call numbers are on each floor.
Legal encyclopedias are multi-volume works that contain discussions of many different topics of law.
They cover U.S. state and federal law generally, with an emphasis on case law rather than on statutes. They provide extensive citations to primary sources. Legal encyclopedias are an excellent way to get a broad grasp of a particular topic, to narrow your focus of inquiry, and to locate additional sources on a topic that interests you. The encyclopedias are arranged alphabetically by subject and have general indexes for the whole set and topic indexes for individual articles. Check the pocket part to the volume in which your case is located, or the Annotation History Table at the very end of the index, to see if your annotation has been superseded.
