Center for Research Libraries

We can make available to you some esoteric legal research materials through Cornell’s membership in the Center for Research Libraries (CRL), an international consortium of university, college, and independent research libraries.  CRL, headquartered in Chicago, acquires and preserves newspapers, journals, documents, archives, and other traditional and digital resources from a global network of sources.  Most of the materials acquired are from outside the United States, and many are from the emerging regions of the world: Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Latin America.  Cornell faculty, students, and other researchers have liberal access to these rich source materials through interlibrary loan and electronic delivery.


To identify materials that may be of interest to you:

·         Search the CRL online catalog

·         Browse the CRL digital collections (including Chinese Pamphlets and African newspapers)

·         Use a CRL topic guide (including Law, Human Rights, Labor, France, US History)

·         Consult with Member Liaison and Outreach Services Director for research assistance

 

The extensive collection has these monographs, and many more:

Violence against women in North East India: an enquiry

Human rights in Egypt

Empirical studies in corporate finance, taxation and investment

Pleasurable pastimes: seven essays, including judgement awarding capital punishment

               

Learn more about CRL and their incomparable collections from your liaison or at the CRL web site.
