Prepared by Marylin J. Raisch, Associate Director for Research & Collection Development, Georgetown Law Center | [email protected] Updated 2.22.20

This handout is in a Jewish Law Seminar 2020 folder on Georgetown Box. Some articles and books you may find for yourselves electronically at other sites may be accessible only by the students and faculty of those institutions, and while Georgetown Law does not subscribe to all of them, we may have print equivalents, and for journals, we may have our own subscription through journal aggregators such as ProQuest, HeinOnline, and through interlibrary loan, so please ask a librarian before concluding that you cannot benefit from remote resources, electronic or physical.
