Reference Desk
Ask the Librarian. She has read every room of the Library.
The Reference Desk is the Library's interactive front. Ask the Librarian a question about America's school trust lands and she will answer using the Library's own content, with citations to her sources. She has read every state dossier, every book in the Reading Room, and every primary source the Library holds. She answers only from that corpus, and she can miss things in it. For what she can and cannot do, see About the Librarian.
Legal reference discipline
The Legal Librarian office
The Library's legal-reference work is gathered in one office: the law collection, the hornbook verification process, legal Reference Desk standards, and the public boundary between library scholarship and live-case work. The Law Librarian seat is open; no one holds it today.
The office is public and educational. The Library does not litigate, lobby, or become a party to cases; live-case strategy remains outside the legal-reference office.
The Librarian answers questions for Library Card holders. The Card is free. Apply for a Library Card to ask her a question.
