The Arthur W. Diamond Law Library provides a number of services to Columbia Law School students to support their study, research, and journal activities. If you have any questions about legal research or library resources, please feel free to email referencedesk@law.columbia.edu or use the chat button on this page.
As a member of the Columbia Law community, you are invited to take advantage of an expedited process to apply for a New York Public Library (NYPL) card. Our online application allows students to sign up for a physical library card without needing a proof of address and without needing to stop by a NYPL branch in-person. To pick up your card, all you will need to do is show your CUID at the Law Library Circulation Desk.
The benefits of getting a NYPL card go beyond gaining borrowing privileges to the over 55 million items available through the 92 New York Public Library branches. You'll also be able to borrow over 300,000+ free e-books, stream movies, and learn new skills with Mango Languages and LinkedInLearning
The Law Library has paired with the Columbia Strategic Simulation Society (CSSS) to offer you the chance to check out board games for use at your next game night!
Here is the full list of the games available to borrow.
