PERSONNEL
Library staffing includes 8 librarians, 9 staff members and approximately
40 student assistants (6 FTE). The Library has been fortunate to retain
personnel with significant years of experience and to recruit newer staff
with a variety of experience and backgrounds. This diverse mix provides
a great pool of talent on which we rely to provide exceptional library
service. Because library personnel have specialized job functions and
work in different library departments, the Law
Library Directory gives an overview of each person's individual and
departmental job responsibilities.
