SERVICES
The Ashland County Law Library offers a wide variety of services,
considering our size. The library itself has been built over the
years with care and consideration for the needs of the Ashland County
Bar Association and has grown into a well balanced library.
COLLECTIONS
Our book collection consists of over 10,000 bound volumes and a
large number of periodicals. The collection is not available to
the general public to check out but may be perused here in the library.
In addition to our print media we offer two legal databases for the use
of members of the bar. We have five user stations for
accessing primary, secondary and search materials for Federal and Ohio
jurisdictions.
COURTROOM AIDS
The library offers for the use of members
of the bar several anatomical charts and medical diagrams for use in the
courtroom. We also have a set of bones representing the human
spine.
CONFERENCE ROOMS
This is a work in progress. Two soundproofed rooms will be
available for use of members of the bar very shortly.
DOCUMENT DELIVERY
The library offers free document, book, or search delivery to local
members of the bar.
COPYING
Amazingly enough, our copies are still free.
ONLINE RESEARCH
The librarian is pleased to help members of the bar research
items online or to schedule Westlaw and Lexis training for you at your
convenience.
LIBRARIAN SERVICES
Need an obscure article or appellate brief? The librarian
maintains a valuable contact with other libraries and other librarians.
We have access to enormous databases and can provide you the information
you need through email or by actually checking a book out of another
library.
What is a moderate interpretation of the text? Halfway between what
it really means and what you'd like it to mean?
