Ask a Librarian
Reference services are designed to ensure effective use of the Goodson Law Library's collection of print and electronic resources. Our reference librarians are experienced legal researchers and instructors, all of whom hold dual degrees in law and library science. They are available to help library users locate information, identify relevant resources, develop search strategies for catalogs, databases, the web and indexes and provide assistance in legal research methodology. They can not provide substantive advice on a legal problem or interpret legal materials.
