Reference Services

Reference Services

The four professional librarians in the reference and research services department, along with one additional librarian from collection management, provide reference and research services to the VLS community and, to a lesser extent, the public. We can help you identify useful materials to answer any research question, no matter how large or small, help you develop information-gathering strategies and techniques, and help you evaluate your results. Librarians are available to provide reference assistance Monday through Friday, 8:30 to 5:00; or, to make appointments for individual assistance, contact us by email. We also offer individual and group instruction in legal research.

Access Services

Book circulation, stack maintenance, reserves, equipment maintenance and repair, and inter-library loan are among the library services offered through the access services department.
