Goodson Law Library

We accept lending and photocopy requests from other libraries through OCLC and email. Our OCLC symbol is NDL. E-mail requests may be sent to ill@law.duke.edu using the ALA Interlibrary Loan Request Form. If you are an individual who is not a member of the Duke Law School community (faculty, staff, student, or visiting scholar) and wish to obtain Duke material through Interlibrary Loan, contact the interlibrary loan office at your local academic, firm, or public library.
