If you would like to place additional items on reserve during the semester, contact the Reference Librarian (Chuck Sprowls at 412.396.5686)

Faculty Liaison Program
The Faculty Liaison Program assigns each professional librarian to a group of faculty members to better serve their individual needs. Any comments or suggestions regarding library facilities or services may be directed to your liaison librarian or the Director.
Requesting New Books/Resources
If you are aware of books or other materials which you believe the Center should own, please contact your liaison librarian to order it or complete a Faculty/Staff Request form and give it to the Assistant Director for Technical Services (Mrs. Horvath). You will be notified as soon as the item is acquired.
Faculty Profile
Each year, a Faculty Information Profile is distributed to all faculty members. The information gathered from these profiles facilitates the Center's efforts to provide efficient service and keep you informed of new acquisitions in your areas of interest.
Library Blog
In order to easily keep you better informed of important legal research resources and events, the Center has created a blog. Please check out the blog!
