If you need an article or a book that is not available through the Consortium Loan Service, request it through our interlibrary loan service.

Scanners are located on the Stockton Cellar level.  Scanned jobs may be downloaded to a USB drive, sent to your @law.gwu.edu or other email address, or captured by your smartphone or tablet computer.  There is no charge for scanning.
