You can contact the reference desk for research assistance through email: reference@law.pace.edu and chat. If you would like to have a video conference session with a reference librarian, please email us and someone will get back to you to arrange a time and send you the zoom invite.
Also consider checking out your local public library to see what materials they have available to you online. Many have expanded offerings during the period of closures.

The Internet Archive has created the National Emergency Library. Although this library now has restrictions on the number of users who can check out a book at one time, it is still a good resource to check for some older e-books.
If you are not going to be returning to campus you can always mail your books back to us:

There is currently no reciprocal access at local law school libraries.
We are offering several upper level research and citation workshops throughout the semester. You can find information on the website. Students who need the Upper Level Research Form signed can email the Director of the Law Library, Deborah Heller with information on what session was completed (including in person class sessions, law review training, etc.) your name, and the semester the session was completed. Forms will be signed and emailed back as soon as possible.
The Law Library is pleased to be able to provide you access to the Questions & Answers series and Understanding series of study aids through the Lexis Digital Library. Start by visiting: https://lexisdl.com/welcome/login/pace and clicking Sign In. You will then need to enter your Pace Portal username and password in order to access the digital library. Once you are in the digital library you can browse through the available titles or search for a specific title. Users may easily annotate passages within books. Users will also be able to download books for offline reading. In addition to accessing the library through a laptop or desktop, users can download the Lexis Digital Library app for use on smartphones and tablets. Some getting started guides are provided in PDF below. For any questions, you can contact the reference desk.
We also now have access to e-book copies of a few Examples and Explanations subjects as well as the Finz bar exam guides. You can look the title up in the catalog and click on the links provided to access the content. These titles do have a limited number of copies, so it is possible that all copies may be in use at the time you check. You can always check back in at a later time to see if a copy is available.
