Looking for Past Exams?
The law library has a very extensive collection of past exams. The bound volumes date all the way back to 1907 and continue until 2013 and are located on the shelves to the south of the reference desk facing seminar room 131. We also have a digital collection of past exams that dates back to 2000, with a exams that are even older. They can be found at http://law.unl.edu/library-services/
Quiet Please!
Please remember that the library is meant to be a quiet space for people to study. Please be considerate of others, keep your voices down and try to keep your activities as quiet as possible.
Food in the Library??
Students are welcome to bring snacks and drinks into the library, but not meals. Without getting into the finer points of discussion about what is a meal and what is a snack, we hope that you can decide what is apprppriate by exercising common sense. Sandwiches, pizzas, soups, casseroles, frozen or dehydrated meals, or re-heated left overs are meals and we ask that you eat them outside the library. We ask your cooperation in abiding by this loose rule so that we aren’t put in a position of having to police the library. The reason for the rule is that meals are generally more odorous than most snacks, and messier. Since the library’s reading areas are common, we strive to keep the tables, carrels and study room as clean and comfortable as possible. Thanks in advance for your cooperation!
