Student Journals: Library Trainings and Services

Let the Law Library help you!

Did you know that the Law Library offers a multitude of services for all of the journals!    Plan ahead and schedule special training sessions for your editors to help you with getting started on:

  •    Article selection and  preemption  / plagiarism trainings      · Source collection         ·  Cite checking

Contact Kristie Chomorro to schedule a time to get started!

Source Collection Support

  • If you need to borrow books or other law library materials for your journal work, please visit the Circulation Desk and ask to check them out under your journal's account. If your journal does not have an account, please email circadmin@law.berkeley.edu .

  • You can borrow books from other libraries on campus, however, you have to borrow them on your own ID and they will charge late fees, lost book fees, and can place a hold on your registration.

  • Be sure to check the Law Library Catalog for electronic versions of books.

Note: You may need to go back to the author for sources. If the author does not have the materials, you will need to ask the author to locate another source or make a decision to keep the citation without checking the source.
