Because Dickinson participates in several library consortia, students have access through the free interlibrary loan service to the collections of other major law libraries and to libraries of many of the colleges in the region. Law students may also use the Dickinson College and U.S. Army War College libraries in Carlisle and the Pennsylvania State Library in Harrisburg. A local area network links students' personal computers to the library catalog and other research resources, including the Internet. Our computer labs contain Pentium II personal computers and a series of computer-assisted legal instruction programs. Students have yearlong access to the Internet through Penn State's university-wide computer system.
Students have access to the library twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
Carrels and tables are available for more than 80 percent of the student body, as are several rooms for small-group study sessions. The Library's stacks and study areas are open to students and faculty 24 hours a day.
