fees.

Returning Books
Books may be returned at the Circulation Desk or at one of four book
return boxes. Two bookdrops are located in Gates Hall: one outside of the
Library entrance on L1 and one in front of Room L143, the Garvey Schubert Barer
Student Commons. Two book return boxes are located outside of William Gates
Hall: one on the northeast entrance near Memorial Way and the other at the
northwest corner of the building near 15th Ave. NE.
Extending Loans
Borrowed materials from the Classified Stacks and the Compact Stacks may
be renewed
twice if there are no holds and if the materials are less than 2 weeks
overdue. You may renew books by contacting Circulation in person, by phone (206/543-4086),
or by using the "View Your Library Record" feature of MARIAN, the Law Library's
catalog. In all cases, please have your barcode number ready.
Materials from Course Reserve and the Reference Area cannot be renewed.
These materials should be returned to the Circulation Desk; do not deposit
them in one of the bookdrops unless the Library is closed.
Placing Holds
A borrower may place a hold on an item that is checked out to someone else
(excluding books checked out from Course Reserve or the Reference Area).
The original borrower's loan period is shortened and he or she is notified
to return the item. When the
book becomes available, the requesting borrower will be notified and given
one week to
pick up the book at the Circulation Desk. After that time it will be returned to the
shelves.
To place a hold, contact the Circulation Desk in person or
by phone at (206) 543-4086. Or, use the "Request" feature of MARIAN. You need to have your barcode number to place a
hold.
Overdue Materials
When a borrowed item has not been returned to the Library by its due
date, Circulation staff notify the borrower first by phone or e-mail and then by letter. If a third
notification is necessary, a processing fee of $15 will be charged in addition to the
item's replacement cost. If the billed item is returned before the Library replaces it, the
$15 processing fee must still be paid.
A borrower may receive his/her library notices via e-mail
by registering a current e-mail address at the Circulation Desk.
mylawlibrary
mylawlibrary is a portal on MARIAN, the UW Gallagher Law Library's catalog,
that givers users access to their own library records. Log on at
http://marian.law.washington.edu/patroninfo and enter your name and barcode
(the number on the back of your Husky Card, or the sticky barcode the Library
supplies when registering patrons who are not UW-affiliated).
What can mylawlibrary do for you? You can:
- Review a list of items that you have checked out.
- Sort that list by due date.
- Renew checked-out items (as long as no one else has placed a hold on it).
- Update your address, phone number, and email address.
- Review and cancel holds that you have placed on library items.
- Create and save catalog searches that you want to run periodically. If
you check the "mark for email box" after creating a preferred search, you
will automatically be notified when the Library acquires a new item matching
your search.
- Review a list of the Library books that you have checked out ("my reading
history"). This service helps you keep track of materials you have used.
Note: You must affirmatively opt in to use this service and you can delete
items from your reading history. Materials obtained via SUMMIT and
interlibrary loan are not recorded in this reading history.
Please visit the Circulation Desk (or call 206-543-4086) to inquire about
these services!
Summit
- What Is Summit?
- Summit is a library catalog that allows users to search for and
request items from
more than 30 academic
libraries in Washington and Oregon. This combined catalog contains
over 22 million items.
You will find links to Summit from MARIAN
and the Gallagher Law Library homepage.
- Borrower Information
- UW Law School faculty, staff, and students may borrow materials
directly through Summit. They may also use and check out library
materials from any of the 30+ member libraries by presenting their UW
Husky Card. Other users who are registered to borrow items from the
Gallagher Law Library may search Summit, but they may not borrow
materials via Summit.
- Placing Requests
- Placing a request for an item found on Summit is easy. Once you find
the item you want, use the "Request This Item" feature. You will need
your UW barcode number. The item will be delivered to the Gallagher Law
Library. Law students can obtain the items requested at the Circulation
Desk. Items requested by Law School faculty and staff will be delivered
to their mailboxes or offices. Note: Summit borrowers generally cannot access
e-books and other licensed commercial sources that are linked from Summit
catalog records. Links to freely available web sources (such as documents
published by U.S. government agencies) are the exception.
- Loan Period
- The loan period for items borrowed via Summit is 3 weeks.
- Extending Loans
- Loan periods may be extended for one additional 3-week period. To
renew a book, visit the Circulation Desk, call the Circulation staff
(206/543-4086), or use the "View Your Library Record" feature of MARIAN.
You will need your UW barcode number.
- Questions
- Please direct questions about Summit to the Resource Sharing
Librarian, 206/543-4262 or
lawlibil@u.washington.edu.
