Law Library Suggestion Box

Some of you may have noticed our new suggestion box - we installed it last month adjacent to the main elevator, on the first floor near the circulation desk. (That’s it in the picture at the right!)

Its already getting use - we’ve had about two suggestion cards filled out and dropped in during each of the three weeks we’ve had it. As the sign says, if you have any suggestions, comments, or complaints - and you’d rather let us know in writing - take a card, fille it out, and drop it in the box. If you want a response, you can include your name and e-mail or phone number, or you can be completely anonymous! Any common question we get might be addressed in future postings on this blog and we promise - all comments left in the suggestion box are taken seriously.

 Of course, if you have any questions or concerns about the law library, you can always talk to any of us - we’re here to help in any way we can!

Upcoming Closure

The library will be closed October 12, 13, & 14 for Loyola Fall Break. The library will reopen for regular hours at 7:30 Tuesday morning.

Hollywood South is a name that New Orleans has easily adopted in the past few years do the large amount of filming now done in the city. As you drive around town you can often see signs such as this:

This is one is actually a little more explanatory than most as they are often adorned with cryptic letters that can become a fun guessing game. To help figure out what is going on in town (and remember many of these movies filming are new so you won't know them) there are also site such as onlocationvacation . A note for those that live close to the school, at times Treme films quite close to the school (on Hurst, I believe).

I will also mention that while you are in school, and perhaps notice an opportunity to need to learn a bit about entertainment law the library does have some print resources (in the KF 4290 area) in addition to the online resources provided by Westlaw and LexisNexis. Maybe you know a budding star, a home owner that has a movie company wanting to rent his home as a set, or just want to know more; use our materials to be prepared.

Weekend Reference Change, This Weekend

The normal Sunday Reference on 9/22 will be moved for this week to Saturday 9/21 to assist students who prefer working on Saturday to Sunday. We may sporadically do this through the academic year dependent on demand.

Loyola Law - Tulane Law Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement

Many student already know about the Loyola-Tulane agreement that we have started this Fall semester but I wanted to make sure and put a plug in for it on the blog and Facebook. Basically, Loyola Law students can check out materials at the Tulane Law Library if a Tulane student could check out said item. Tulane Law students have the same privilege to check out materials at the Loyola Law Library. There are a few clarifications that this post will highlight: 1. Loyola Law students are not admitted to the Tulane Law Library after 7 on weeknights and on the weekends. If Loyola Law students are in the library during those times the checkout reciprocal agreement cannot apply. 2. The agreement basically only applies to physical materials. It does not apply to study rooms, electronic databases, interlibrary loans, or computer lab usage. 3. Fines and checkout period lengths are determined by the library that owns the book/material (regardless of the school you are enrolled in). As always if you have any questions please ask a librarian.
