Welcome
The Gallagher Law Library welcomes new and returning students. We hope that
you’ll find the Library a wonderful place to study and a helpful resource for
research.

find lost items (Circulation Desk is the official "lost and found" for Gates

cans by depositing them in the recycling bins located:

Security
The Library is a public place and thefts do occur. Don’t leave your backpack
or laptop unattended, even for a short time – it takes only seconds for someone
to steal your things.
There are anti-theft loops underneath all carrels and tables in the Library.
We highly recommend that you use them to secure your laptop with a cable
(Kensington portable notebook lock is sold at the University Bookstore for
$45).
Also, register your laptop or bicycle with the UW Police. It’s quick and can
improve the chances of your items being recovered if they’re stolen. Go to
http://www.washington.edu/admin/police and click on "Bicycle
Registration" or "Electronic Equipment Registration."
Library Lifesavers
by Nancy McMurrer
"I just need a shortcut."
"I found the answer, but it was such drudgery and took way too long. Isn’t
there a better way?"
"How do I …?"
"Help, I’m drowning!"
For all those who have ever had thoughts like these – boy, do we have a
great idea for you! Every Tuesday at 12:45-1:15 p.m. in Room 119, reference
librarians will present a few research tips and tricks. In these Lifesavers
sessions, we plan to cover no more than two topics and each will be less than
15 minutes – short, sweet, and to the point!
What sort of topics? Here’s what we have planned for October:
10/3
10/10
- 12:45 Google tips
- 1:00 Finding a paper topic
10/17
- 12:45 Library website
- 1:00 Microsoft Word tricks
10/24 1
- 2:45 MARIAN – more tips
- 1:00 Finding journal articles through LegalTrac
10/31
- 12:45 Boo! How to take "scary" out of the Bluebook
- 1:00 50 State laws surveys
So, come on, spend 15 or 30 minutes of your Tuesday lunch hour with us. Just
grab your sandwich, salad, or whatever, and join us in Room 119. We will even
throw in some sweet tidbits – maybe lifesavers!
