Additional
Tour Information
The
Law Library is in two architecturally-distinguished buildings.
1.
The Reading Room of the Legal Research Building is open to
anyone, and there is material about the Legal Research building at
the Reading Room desk and in the Reading Room display case.
2.
The Allan and Alene Smith Addition is underground, accessible
from the Reading Room and from the basement of the Legal Research
Building. The
information below is about the underground addition.
Additional factual information is available on the Library
Fact Sheet (pdf).
The
Smith Addition’s primary function is as a study and research
space. Those studying
and doing research need quiet. Therefore, the Library discourages group tours except those
which facilitate use of the Library as a place to do research.
Instructional
Tours:
a.
Self-conducted audio
tours: These tours, designed to help first year law students
learn to use the library for legal research, are available at the
Circulation Desk on Sub-2, whenever the Library is open.
You must be a U of M Law Student, or hold a pass to use the
Law Library, to use these tours.
Further information on these two tours is available at Library
Tour Information.
