Microforms and Newspapers
The Law Library's microform collection contains the equivalent of 180,000 volumes. The microform area is located off the south reading room and its hours coincide with those of the library generally. The office of the Communications Librarian, Micheal Klepper (mtk@virginia.edu or 434.924.3495), is located opposite the microform area and questions regarding the collection and equipment should be directed to him.
