Lending to Other Institutions
We are not lending physical materials, but will lend electronic versions whenever possible.
We make our physical materials available to academic, public, government, nonprofit, corporate, and law firm libraries. To borrow from the Law Library (EMI/MIUL), please contact them directly.
We accept requests through OCLC, DOCLINE, Rapid, UBorrow, and through our website.
