Welcome to Chastek Library! This user guide provides an overview of the library and resources available to support your teaching and research. For student information, please visit Student Services. For public, alumni, and attorney access, visit the Attorney & Public page.
Chester, the Library Catalog
Chester contains bibliographic records for everything in the library’s collection as well as material in the Foley Center Library. Chester is available through the main library page. In addition, Chester terminals are located throughout the library. Printouts from Chester terminals in the library may be picked up at the Circulation Desk.
Primo, the Library Discovery Tool
Primo, known as a discovery tool, allows for one-stop discovery of local and remote resources, such as books, law review articles, and many of our specialized databases. You can save queries, organize saved items in folders, and access the search box using a mobile link. Give it a try. It’s available through the main library page, or use the Primo Mobile link.
Library Maps
Library maps, located at the Circulation Desk, by each public computer, and on the website, identify where specific areas (such as the Greenan Reading Room) are situated in the library. Once you have located the call number and location of an item, use the library maps to determine where that item is shelved.
