Research Support
Reference librarians are available to provide multiple levels of support for faculty research. We are available to help consult with faculty and/or their RAs to develop research plans for their projects. We help select resources to use, develop search strategies and terms, and identify or create tools for tracking results. We can also provide research training sessions for new faculty RAs and work with them on an ongoing basis to review research progress and results. You may send your request for assistance to [email protected], or contact any of the reference librarians for research support.
Current Awareness
Reference librarians can help you set up current awareness services to keep you up to date on new developments in your areas of interest. These services may include RSS feeds, WestClips, Lexis Alerts and SmartCILP alerts.

Faculty Scholarship
The library supports Mitchell Hamline faculty in promoting their scholarship in the following ways:
Scholastica. The library maintains an institutional account with Scholastica that covers the costs associated with law journal submissions. The library also helps faculty manage their Scholastica submissions.
SSRN. The library assists faculty with the process of uploading their preprints and articles to SSRN. The library also advises faculty on the selection appropriate JEL codes and Subject Matter eJournals for their work.
Mitchell Hamline Open Access. The library collects published faculty work in Mitchell Hamline Open Access, the School’s institutional repository. Inclusion in MHOA widens the audience for faculty scholarship.
