Use our suggestion box! You'll find it in the Klaus Reserve Room. The DVD committee will review every suggestion and hopefully add your pick to the collection.
Q5. Why are there so many DVDs at the Law Library?
The DVD collection is provided thanks to the Walter W. Klaus fund, established in 1989 in memory of Mr. Klaus ’36 by his brother and sister-in-law, Mr. Mrs. Philip W. Klaus. The DVDs are part of the larger Klaus collection which also provides periodicals, newspapers, and a collection of books on subjects such as history, current events, and biography. The DVDs and reading materials are meant both to compensate for the distance between the Law School and main grounds libraries as well as provide materials for students to take a much-needed break from their studies. The Klaus room is located next to circulation on the Law Library’s first floor. Stop by to checkout a movie, binge a TV series, read up on current events, or chill out in the armchairs.
