Source Collection

First read Rule 15 carefully and check your citation to make sure you're using the correct edition. Then search for books or other treatises in UC Library Search.

Tip for scanned books: Many books—especially older titles that are out of copyright—are available online in specialty research systems like ECCO (Eighteenth Century Collections Online), MoML (Making of Modern Law), and HeinOnline. Search by title and author to find links to these system from UC Library Search at https://www.law.uci.edu/library/. 

• Search by title and author, if your citation has that information. Example: to find the most current edition of Erwin Chemerinsky's hornbook on constitutional law, try
  [au:chemerinsky AND ti:"constitutional law principles"]
• Need an older edition? Include the year in your search. Example: to find the 4th edition of Erwin Chemerinsky's hornbook on constitutional law, try
  [ au:chemerinsky AND ti:"constitutional law principles" AND yr:2011 ]
• Advanced search options for UC Library Search are at oclc.org

If your book is only available in print - let the Research Editor know. They will work with Law Library staff to request or pull the print version of the material. It'll be held up at the Front Desk.  

Ask a law librarian about books that you can't find in a catalog.
