Research Assistant Training

To check books out to your faculty member in the Law Library, take the item you'd like to check out to the Law Library's circulation desk. Tell the people at Circulation that you'd like to check an item out to a faculty member. They will check the item out in the faculty member's name.

To check books out at the University Library, first visit the Law Library's circulation desk and tell them you wish to check out the books to the faculty member. They will get the books from the other library and check out the books to the faculty member.

If you can't locate the item that you need at the University Library or the Law Library, we may need to get it from another library. First, check WorldCat to determine if the item exists and if it is held by any libraries. WorldCat should also tell you if the item is held by FIU. Also, be sure to check with a reference librarian to see if we can locate the item without having to ask another library. If we cannot locate the item, please place an Interlibrary Loan request for the item.
