Locating Sources 1. Unpack the citation, identifying the full and complete title of the source. 2. Search library catalogs � CLIO – https: //clio. columbia. edu/ Most things Columbia University libraries hold or have access to, including most Law Library materials. Good for interdisciplinary or non-law material. Search for the title of the SOURCE. For many (not all) articles, you can also search for the title of the article. Pegasus – https: //pegasus. law. columbia. edu/ Everything the Law Library holds or has access to. Search for the title of the SOURCE. � 3. Verify citation information � Google – https: //www. google. com/ � World. Cat – http: //www. worldcat. org/ � Check to see whether the open web has references to the source/article you’re seeking. A shared catalog of libraries all over the world, which indicates which libraries hold certain items. Check to make sure the source exists as cited. Indexes – via Pegasus (Pegasus > E-Resources > Periodical and Treatise Indexes) Check the Periodical and Treatise Indexes to verify citation information. 4. STOP! If you still cannot identify a source, ask for help at the Reference Desk.

Getting Materials from Other Libraries at Columbia University You are responsible for retrieving any sources on the Morningside Campus (no Borrow Direct, ILL, or delivery available), including from: � Butler Library (main Columbia University library) � Lehman Library (School of International and Public Affairs library) � etc.

Avoiding Fines from Other Libraries at Columbia University Always keep track of the due date and remember to renew the book. Renewing is easy and can be done by logging in to your library account through CLIO (upper right hand side of the screen). Remember to check your email for due date notices. Ask your article editor where to store books from other CU libraries. Best practices: � � Keep the book in your own possession and leave scans in the journal office or put the scans in a digital dropbox. If the book has to be shared among staffers, make sure you always know where it is so you can return it. If you have overdue books and fines, the CU libraries will place a hold on your account, meaning that you cannot register for classes, receive a transcript, or get a diploma until the books have been returned and the fines cleared (participation in graduation will still be allowed).

Law Library Shelf Collections / Avoiding Fines from the Law Library For books from the Law Library, always use a shelf collection to avoid paying any fines at graduation time. Students with outstanding fines or unreturned books will not receive a diploma or transcript until all books are returned and fines paid (but will be allowed to participate in graduation). � � � Shelf collections can be established using the article author’s name at the Circulation Desk. Each article can get a different shelf collection. Books are checked out to a designated shelf in the Law Library on the 4 th floor. The books are always available in one location for everyone on the staff to come and use. Books checked out to a shelf collection cannot leave the library. The books never leave the library, so individual students are not held responsible. Books are checked out to the shelf for the semester. This can be extended if still needed. Only books from the Law Library can go on a shelf collection (no books from other Columbia University libraries or from ILL).

Getting Materials from Outside Columbia University: Inter-Library Loan (ILL) ILL requests can only be made in person at the Reference Desk in the Law Library. Law students CANNOT make ILL requests online, or in person at other CU libraries. Law students CANNOT use Borrow Direct. All ILL requests are made under the assigning editor’s name. When you make an ILL request, be ready to provide: � all the information you have on the source, including the original citation you are working from, � your assigning editor’s name and uni. � ILL requests can take up to 10 business days (2 weeks!) so do not wait until the last minute to make requests. Remember, ILL books cannot go on Law Library shelf

Making an ILL request Am I the assigning Editor? No Yes Use assigning Editor’s name! Use my Name!

Understanding Citations indicate where the idea in an article came from, so that readers can find the same information. Sample journal citation: 19 COLUM. SCI. & TECH. L.
