Teaching & Research Fellows Library Services
Welcome to the Robert Crown Law Library’s Teaching & Research Fellows Library Services page! We are here to help familiarize you with the myriad resources available to you through the library in support of your research and teaching. This page provides an overview of some of our services. Please use the navigation below for more detailed information.
Per Administrative Guide 2.4.3.2.g, fellows who participate in a recognized full-time, campus-based Stanford non-degree program of scholarship or learning are eligible for a Stanford University ID (SUID) card. The SUID functions as a library card and may be used to borrow from the Law Library and other campus libraries. Additionally, resident teaching fellows who have an office at the law school may participate in our borrowing service program. Please see below for more information about the borrowing service. Remote fellows are limited to online resources as the library is not able to ship physical material to their remote locations. Your SUNet ID sponsorship determines your access to e-resources.
