Reserve Materials

Books and photocopies may be placed on reserve in the library by contacting Kathy Fletcher. Faculty should indicate if the materials are personal and if a barcode may be attached. If the materials are photocopies, please supply the total number of photocopies you want to be placed on reserve. Loose materials should be submitted in a binder or other permanently bound format. Materials submitted for reserve may not be immediately available to students and faculty should plan accordingly. All faculty reserve materials will be returned at the end of each semester.  You can search Course Reserves using our new library search feature below.

Faculty Borrowing Privileges

Faculty may borrow books from any UNH Library for a semester at a time.  Books borrowed from other UNH Libraries may be charged a fee for overdue materials. The library reserves the right to recall materials.  

Inter-Library Loan Borrowing

If you need materials from another library, contact Kathy Fletcher. Acquiring a book or article from another library can take anywhere from several days to a month depending on the policies and procedures of the lending library.  Once borrowed, any photocopy becomes the property of the faculty member. Any book borrowed from another library is subject to the lending policies of that library. Some books can be renewed provided the request is made by the library in advance of the due date and the lending library agrees. Otherwise, books borrowed through inter-library loan should be returned to Kathy Fletcher by the due date specified.

Submitting Your Manuscript to Law Reviews

UNH Law participates in two services for faculty to submit manuscripts to law reviews in bulk, Scholastica and ExpressO.  Prior to using these services, contact Jon Cavicchi to be sure that you are included on the list.  Please review each law review's requirements prior to submission. For training contact your Liaison.

Posting Your Work 

Working papers 

Legal Scholarship Network provides access to working papers and abstracts of articles accepted for publication as well as announcements of professional meetings, calls for papers and professional job listings. LSN database and paper downloads are free open-source.

In addition - the Law Library subscribes to the alert service that sends email notices of new papers in your legal areas of interest. The best way to get on the list is to ask Sue Zago to e-mail SSRN to sign you up. Once subscribed, you can customize your email subscription to reflect your research interests.  

Final published work 

The Law Library maintains the School of Law Collection on the University of New Hampshire Scholars' Repository.  The repository is designed to preserve, promote and disseminate the scholarship and activities of law school faculty in accordance with UNH’s commitment to open access. Items in the repository are indexed by search engines such as Google, making them accessible to a wide audience. The Scholars’ Repository, a BePress hosted Institutional Repository (IR), provides a central location for archiving UNH scholarship for long-term access, promotes the rights of authors to control their intellectual property, and furthers the concept of open access to research. 

ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from other researchers. It is also used to provide automated links to your work that is used by services like Elements.  Authors with an ORCID iD automatically have a profile page where they can list all their publications, grant awards, and other research outputs.  Law reviews are starting to utilize the ORCiD around submissions.  Register for your ORCiD at https://orcid.org/register
