As a graduate of Chase College of Law, the Law Library is pleased to offer you many resources and services. Whether you visit us in person or contact us by phone, you will enjoy the following benefits:
As a first step, apply for a Chase Alumni Library Card. This online application can be printed and filled out prior to your visit to the Law Library.
You will need to present two forms of identification, one of which must be a photo I.D., such as a driver's license or passport. The other form of identification should include both name and current address, for example, a personal check, utility bill, or bank statement.
Most circulating items are checked out for a three week period. DVDs can be borrowed for two days. Photocopying is available for a minimal charge of five cents per page.
You can access selected electronic resources while in our library. Some of the more useful databases include HeinOnline and Nexis Uni (a simplified version of Lexis). Access the Databases page to view a complete summary of our electronic databases and access instructions. Due to licensing restrictions, we cannot offer off-campus access to non-current NKU students.
The publicly available computer stations are not attached to printers, but you can download your research to a thumb drive.
Be sure to contact the Reference Librarian for help with your research questions. A Reference Librarian is generally available from 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. You can speak directly to the reference librarian or leave a message if the librarian is temporarily unavailable. The Law Library hours are posted on the Chase Law Library website.
Librarians can verify if the library owns a specific title and place the information on the hold shelf at the Circulation Desk.
Librarians will copy items from our collection and make the information available via an email attachment, mail, or pick-up. The delivery method will vary according to the length and format [print or electronic version] of the item needed. The librarian will strive for same day or next business day service depending on the time of the request, the number and the length of the item(s) needed. The library reserves the right to decline to provide this service depending on staffing availability. The library will follow copyright and fair use guidelines in determining what items it can copy.
The librarian can help steer you to resources that may address your legal issue. The range of reference questions always varies, but here are some past requests:
Experienced reference librarians are available to assist with research strategies, but they are prohibited by law from giving legal advice [Ky. Rev. Stat. § 524.130 and Ohio Rev. Code §4705.97].
