Does the Law Library have popular newspapers, magazines or DVDs for Georgetown Law members?
Does the library have newspapers online or electronically?
Answer
Georgetown Law members have access to the following:
Newspapers: Quick links to e-newspapers may be found on the Law Library News Research guide. Detailed information on accessing the digital edition, or dot-com version, of The Washington Post and The New York Times is provided by Georgetown University Lauinger Library. In print, the Law Library carries the last three months worth of newspapers, like the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post and Financial Times. These will be found at the Circulation Desk.
Magazines: Popular magazines may be found in the Law Library Reading Room, near the Loewinger Lounge area.
Popular Books: The Law Library purchases some bestsellers and newly published novels each year and houses these in the Popular Reading collection. You will also find coffee table books in Loewinger Lounge.
DVDs: Popular DVDs may be found in the Reading Room's business center, just beyond the popular reading collection. (Please see the Law Library FAQ on streaming videos.)
Georgetown Law students may request popular novels, movies, and games housed at Lauinger Library, as well as in local academic libraries. Conduct a "Georgetown U. + Local Libraries" search through the Law Library catalog and then submit a "Request from a Local Academic Library." Georgetown Law students may also apply for membership with the D.C. Public Library and gain access to that library's ebooks and audiobooks and streaming services.
