Information Resources for Research and Teaching

Emory University provides a wealth of electronic information resources that are available to the law school community.  These resources offer a significant supplement to the resources offered by the law school's library and information technology department.  These University resources are available at the Robert W. Woodruff Library Center for Library and Information Resources (CLAIR).  CLAIR is designed to bring together traditional library and electronic information resources in an integrated environment for the entire Emory community.

Resources available at CLAIR include:

• The Lewis H. Beck Center for Electronic Collections & Services

Beck Center for Electronic Collections and Services promotes and supports the use of scholarly electronic collections by Emory University faculty, students and staff.
