Additional Services for Law Journal Members: Photocopying and Printing at University Libraries

Law Library

Many of the journals purchase copy cards to print from the web and to copy materials that cannot be held at Pappas and the Annex. Please check with your editor for copy card availability.

Copy cards may be used in the photocopiers at Pappas, on the third floor and at the Annex. They may also be used for non-Lexis/non-Westlaw printing in the computer labs on the second and third floors. For Lexis and Westlaw printing please see Lexis & Westlaw.

Conserving Resources: Copying 2 pages on one sheet reduces copy costs and saves paper. Most journals and reporters copy well at 85-90% reduction. The circulation staff can assist you with the reduction features on the copiers. PDFs are available for downloading in electronic format for many journals through the library catalog. Specific pages can then be printed as needed.

Copying Tips: Copying from the back of the article to the front will save you time in collating the materials. (When using the digital copiers in the Pappas copy room you should copy from the first page to last.) Be sure to copy the title page and copyright information. Noting the location and call # can save you time in relocating the original source if it is needed again.

Mugar, Theology, Science & Engineering, & Pardee

Copy cards are also available from these libraries. If you need to make use of the copying facilities at these libraries, please check with your editor.

BU Medical Library

The Law Library has an arrangement with the BU Medical Library to receive up to 10 books & photocopies through interlibrary loan each week. If you have only a limited need for Medical Library materials, see the Interlibrary Loan Supervisor, room 201B, to arrange for deliveries. If you will be using Medical Library materials extensively, you should check with your editor. With a BU ID you can borrow materials that circulate and copy cards are available.
