With symbolic, gold-plated buildings and a Prayer Tower positioned at the campus’ center, ORU’s structural design certainly stands as a testament to the Jetsons-esque flavor of its 1960s and 1970s origin. ORU is a private Christian univer- sity located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. For many parents, one of the main draws of the school remains its strict policy against co-ed housing. -

The Regent University Law Library: the First Thirty Years
THE REGENT UNIVERSITY LAW LIBRARY: THE FIRST THIRTY YEARS Charles H. Oates* INTRODUCTION In anticipation of the 30th anniversary of the Regent University Law Library (the ―Law Library‖) in 2009,1 numerous festivities and commemoratives are planned. It seems fitting that a historical account of its beginnings and continuum should be part of the celebration. The Law Library‘s development can be traced through three distinct periods that closely parallel those of the School of Law. The beginning years—from 1979 through 1985—can be characterized as a time of struggle, like the pangs of a prolonged birth.2 Although it began with adequate facilities and an admirable collection for a new school, the Law Library suffered through fluctuating finances and inadequate staffing.3 The period from 1986 through 1997 was a time of transition.4 The most recent period of 1998 through the present can be identified with maturation and stability.5 * B.A., University of Florida (1963); J.D., Stetson University College of Law; M.S.L.S., Catholic University of America. Director of the Law Library and professor at Regent University School of Law. Member of the American Association of Law Libraries, Southeast Association of Law Libraries, Virginia Association of Law Libraries, the American Bar Association, and the Florida Bar.
