Some funds are available to provide assistance in cases of financial hardship, primarily unforeseen hardship, e.g. caused by sudden changes in exchange rates or by family bankruptcy. The Taylor Library is housed separately from the main library and is in the same building as the Law School's teaching and staff rooms. It is a good working and research library with approximately 30,000 volumes including a particularly good collection of Roman law material which is one of the best in Britain. The library currently subscribes to approximately 185 legal periodicals and law reports. The Law Library has over 500 study places.
Postgraduate students have access to their own study room.
Networked PC's are available in the Computer Room. If a particular book is needed by a student and is not found in the libraries in Aberdeen, it can usually be obtained from another library in Britain or overseas, via the Library's Inter-Library loan service. It is also possible to arrange for students to visit other libraries, such as that in the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies in London. These pages were prepared by Dr E Metzger of the School of Law.
