Lost materials are replaced if necessary or if a faculty or library staff member requests replacement. The Law Library subscribes to the Package Plans of the The American Bar Association and the Association of American Law Schools. For an annual charge, the Library receives some but not all the organizations' publications. Some of the larger sets in microformat include the U.S. Supreme Court Records and Briefs, CIS, U.S. Congressional documents, State session laws, and United Nations materials. The Law Library purchases audio and video materials.
Purchase depends upon the quality of and demand for such materials.
Selection is based upon the reputation of both the person producing the program as well as that of the publisher. Motion pictures dealing with legal topics are purchased. Software which comes with print materials will remain with the print material. A pocket is attached inside the back cover of the book for the diskette. The Law Library purchases CD-ROM products selectively.
