Electronic Resources:
All of our electronic products are available free of charge to Class L1 and L2 LSUC members in good standing. Users are responsible for paying the print charge only, at .25 per page. Instruction and assistance is available from the Librarians and they can also do searches for a fee consisting of $1.00 per minute service charge ($5.00 minimum), plus print charge and GST.

All computers in the library are equipped with access to the LibraryCo. Toolkit of Legal Resources.  Included in this are:

Other Electronic Products
The MLA Library also subscribes to O'Briens Encyclopedia of Forms Online.  This is available through a desktop icon on the user computers.

Borrowing and Returns
Materials may be borrowed by MLA members in good standing, or by visiting lawyers for court use.  In order to reduce loss of material and ensure availability for all members, library users must sign out all materials they wish to borrow and return them promptly. Most materials can be borrowed for 48 hours with the exception of law reports which are for court use only and periodicals and reference materials which are for library use only. All books have a sign out card on the inside front cover. Materials without a card should be signed out in the sign-out book on the book return bin at the front of the library. All material is subject to immediate recall when required. Materials should be returned to the book bin or left at the library information desk.

Services
A full-service photocopier/printer is available in the library.  Users can set up an account and debit from it for their printing and copying; a scanning service is also available.  There is telephone and a separate line available for library users at 679-7194.  We also offer a fax service for sending and receiving faxes at 672-5917. Visiting lawyers can obtain a key for the locker room from the library also.
