Alumni Borrowing and Access
Please visit the Circulation desk to set up an account with the Law Library to enable you to check out books. Once you have filled out an application form, your graduation date will need to be verified and your user record created in our system. Both of these functions must be performed by a supervisor, so there may be up to a 24 hour delay between your first visit and the creation of your record in our system. In order to enter the building after 4:00pm, you will need to visit the Emory Card Office to get an alumni ID card.
Computer and Wireless Network Use
PC’s located on level 2 of the Law Library are restricted to Law School faculty, staff and students. There are public access terminals by the stairwells on levels 1 through 4. From here you can access the library’s online catalog and get to the Web for research purposes. You cannot print from these terminals. If you just need to check your email, we suggest that you use the kiosk terminals on the first floor of the Law School by the reception desk.
If you own a laptop with wireless capability, you may connect to Emory’s Wireless guest access. To use Emory’s guest wireless network, connect to “EmoryGuest”. When you open your web browser, you will be prompted to agree to Emory’s terms of use. You will need to supply a valid email address in order to use EmoryGuest.

Restricted access is in effect
After extensive consultation with representatives of the Law School administration, the faculty, and the Student Bar Association, we have decided to restrict access to the MacMillan Law Library permanently during evening hours. The doors will be locked at 4:00 PM each evening. This change in policy has been prompted by growing concern for the safety and security of our students, staff, and other users.
Evening access will be permitted only for the following groups:
- All Emory students and other members of the Emory University community will be able to enter by swiping their EmoryCards through the card reader to the right of the entrance.
- Emory Healthcare employees may present their badges to the Circulation Desk worker to gain admittance. Lifting the handset of the telephone located beside the card reader will automatically ring the Desk.
We ask that you help us by not holding the door open for anyone whom you do not know personally.
Users of the United States Government and European Union depository collections are welcome to enter the building between opening and 4:00 PM, but they will not be admitted thereafter.
Users with Disabilities
The Law Library is committed to providing equal access to its facilities and collections for all users in the Emory community. Library staff will make special arrangements to assist patrons with disabilities in retrieving and using library materials. The library encourages patrons with disabilities to contact Circulation or Reference staff to discuss their needs.
