Schaffer Law Library is a prime resource for research and study with a collection of more than 620,000 volumes and equivalents, and an extensive array of online research tools.
Interlibrary Loan
Materials required for academic research that are not in the library's collection can often be borrowed from other libraries through interlibrary loan (ILL). This service is available to Albany Law School faculty, students and staff. To use the interlibrary loan service, first check for holdings in Schaffer Law Library's Online Catalog. If the material is not owned by the library, you can request it through our interlibrary loan service, ILLiad.
Requests handled by local libraries are normally filled within one week, but requests for materials outside the Albany area may take longer. Schaffer Law Library is a member of the OCLC library network (WorldCat) and the New England Law Library Consortium (NELLCO) which provides ILL access to some of the best collections, such as those at Harvard and Yale.
You can contact the ILL Department at ill@albanylaw.edu.
