Library Services for Alumni

Register at the circulation desk to check out library print resources.  Our collection is accessible through QuickSearch. Our treatises, legal periodicals, and leisure materials may be checked out for up to four weeks. Reserves and audio visual materials may be checked out for a limited time.

For online materials, take a seat at a reference computer to access legal research databases such as Westlaw Campus Research, HeinOnline, and others from our databases webpage.  You may also use your laptop to connect to many of our library databases using our wireless access.  Just enter in a valid email address when prompted by the wireless network.  

Our librarians and staff welcome your visit.  We can also be contacted by email at lawref@uwyo.edu or by calling the library at 307-766-2210.
