Would you please mail me a list of your favorite places to find or system
that you use to locate and actually obtain a document when you do not have
this document or publication in your own law library.

I am sure that larger law libraries will suggest Westlaw or the interlibrary
loan system, but for smaller law libraries this may not be practical. I want
to hear from all sizes and types of law libraries but I am especially
interested in hearing from smaller law libraries who have very limited
collections and may not have access to a interlibrary loan system (I know I
have never had much luck with this) or WestLaw or Lexis.

I will summarize from the list. Please take a few minutes and mail me 3-5 of
your favorites. I realize that you may go to different places or use a
different system based on the nature of the document. FOR EXAMPLE: I go to
or use System A if I need a federal document and I go to or use System B if I
need a state document, etc.

Thank you for your time and cooperation.
