How can we help?
The Biddle Law Library offers a full range of faculty services to support all stages of scholarly research and publication. The library also provides curricular and instructional support to the Law School’s faculty. Liaison librarians are assigned to each member of the standing faculty.
The Biddle Law Library Faculty Services Brochure describes the various ways that Biddle supports the faculty of Penn Carey Law.
Suggestions or ideas for the library’s faculty services should be shared with Amanda Runyon, Associate Dean and Director of Biddle Law Library (arunyon@law.upenn.edu).
Scholarly Repositories
The library posts all faculty working papers and articles to the Penn Carey Law Legal Scholarship Repository, SSRN, and other digital archives.
For questions about the repository or to submit a publication, contact Ben Carlson (bencar@law.upenn.edu).
Course Support
Legal Research Instruction
Library liaisons identify course reading materials, create online research guides tailored to a course, and provide instruction on specialized topics and research tools. They also provide individualized research consultations for upper-level students enrolled in seminar courses.
Course Reserves
The library maintains a closed course reserves collection to ensure that students have access to required course materials. Faculty can also request electronic reserves for their Canvas course site, providing students easy access to e-books, electronic articles, and other digital materials.
To request course reserves, contact your librarian liaison or send an email to Biddle Law Library Reserves
