Most of the Law Library’s books, journals, and microform holdings are listed in the LOC Catalog. Frequently used legal research databases are listed on the Law Library's website under Researcher Resources: Databases. Some of the Law Library’s holdings are listed in finding aids available only in the Law Library Reading Room, and consultation with a reference librarian may be necessary to locate such materials.
Not all items in the Law Library’s collections are guaranteed to be available when requested. Items are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Requests from the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court take priority.
If you need help with determining the availability of legal research materials in advance of your research visit, call us at (202) 707-5079 or Ask a Law Librarian.
NOTE: In June 2025, the Library of Congress launched a new online catalog platform. For information about using the new catalog, review the Catalog Help and Documentation guide.
