Coronavirus Response: Updates

Boley Law Library response to Coronavirus.

Welcome Back to Boley (Fall 2022 Edition)

All of us at the Boley Law Library are pleased to welcome our new and continuing students to the Fall 2022 term. The Law Library and Wood Hall study areas remain open under the same pandemic policies as last term. We'll post any updates to this site. Until then, here are the highlights:

Masks are optional

As with the rest of campus, the Law Library and Wood Hall study areas are mask-optional. These areas include the Boley Reading Room, the Boley Atrium, and the Wood Hall Reading Room and Study Rooms. Masks remain required for close contacts of a person with COVID within the last ten days and anyone who has tested positive for COVID in the last ten days. See the Face Coverings section of the LC COVID-19 Ongoing Response for details.

Masks are certainly recommended in close quarters or large groups. Need a mask? Stop by the Law Library front desk anytime to pick up a surgical-style mask.

Food and drink in the library

Our standard policy applies. Please be kind to your fellow students and our common spaces:

Beverages are permitted in the law library and in the Wood Hall study areas. Snack food that is not sticky, messy, smelly, or noisy can be brought into the Law Library for consumption, but any meals (including pizza) must be consumed outside the law library.

Food garbage should not go into the waste cans that are in the law library; it may be odorous and definitely attracts insects and book-unfriendly pests. Pack up and deposit your food related trash in the waste cans in the Wood Hall lobby area and please remember to clean up after yourself.

Access remains limited

The Law Library and Wood Hall study areas remain limited to Lewis & Clark students, faculty, and staff.  Alumni may request access to study for their State Bar Exam in the Law Library and Wood Hall Reading Rooms, or if special research exceptions may be needed. Please use this form to request access: https://lawlib-lclark.libwizard.com/f/studyrequest. Proof of vaccination is required. Alums, attorneys, and members of the public are encouraged to contact a research librarian for alternative resources, and to explore access to legal research materials with one of our excellent local county law libraries.

Keep an eye on this page for updates to this policy as we continue to return to fully open operations.
