Additional Services for Law Faculty Research Assistants: Photocopying & Printing
Law Library * Other BU Charles River Libraries * BU Medical Library
Faculty copy cards used by research assistants are kept at the Pappas circulation desk. You will need to leave your BU ID with the desk attendant to borrow one of these cards. A sign-out book is located near the distribution rack in the Pappas entry. Once you have the card; you will need to fill out the sheet with your name, the faculty member's name, and the beginning balance on the card. Once you have finished using the card, fill in the ending balance and return the card to the Pappas desk, in exchange for your ID.
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 Stand-alone Printers.
Conserving Resources: Please copy 2 pages on one sheet to reduce copy costs and to save paper. Most journals and reporters copy well at 85-90% reduction. Circulation staff members can assist you with the reduction features on the copiers. Additionally, 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 articles front to back.)
Many journals and reporters are available as downloads in PDF format. Download the case or article and print only the pages you need.
Please note: Due to limited resources, library staff cannot process copy requests for research assistants. All requests for copying by library staff must come directly from law faculty.
Mugar, Theology, Science & Engineering, & Pardee Libraries
The law library keeps a limited number of copy cards which may be used at the above libraries on the Charles River Campus. When you need to make copies at one of these libraries, please request the appropriate card at the Pappas circulation desk.
At Mugar, you may leave materials at the copy center to be picked up the following day. Request the requisition number from the desk attendant at the Pappas circulation desk. Receipts should be dropped off at the Pappas desk to be given to Terri Geiger.
BU Medical Library
The Law Library has an arrangement with the BU Medical Library to receive all books and copies through interlibrary loan. Please see the interlibrary loan supervisor, room 201B, to arrange for deliveries.
