Circulation Services and Reserve

Library materials may be checked out at the circulation desk on the main floor of the library. Please present your currently validated Touro Law Center ID card at the circulation desk to receive checkout privileges. Circulating materials usually may be checked out for two weeks. Please keep in mind, however, that many library materials are non-circulating but may be used anywhere within the library.

Occasionally, professors will place books or materials on reserve at the circulation desk. Students may borrow these materials for in-house use for two hours. A large collection of past examinations is provided on a password protected webpage, accessible from the library’s homepage <http://www.tourolaw.edu/library/> under the Student Services section.

Circulating materials may be renewed unless another person has requested them. Judaica materials may be renewed only once. Reserve items may be renewed unless another person has requested them, except when professors have given special instructions. Renewals must be made in person at the circulation desk. The library reserves the right to recall any item that has been requested by another library user.

Interlibrary Loans

Reference librarians can arrange interlibrary loans of materials from around the country. Please visit the reference office to complete a simple form. A library staff member will contact you when the item arrives.

Lost Materials

The Library reserves the right to charge for lost or unreturned items. Failure to return materials may result in a notice being sent to the Office of the Registrar. Lost materials should be reported at the library’s Circulation Desk. The charge for a lost item includes the cost of the item and a $12.00 processing fee. If an item is out of print or if the cost cannot be determined, a flat fee of $65.00 is charged.
