Locating Treatises

There are several ways to locate legal treatises. For example, you could: (1) use keyword or subject searches in your Library’s catalog; (2) ask a reference librarian to help you locate a source in your field; (3) check the Harvard Law School Library’s Guide to Locating Treatises by Subject; or (4) consult reference sources which identify treatises by subject such as The Legal Information Buyer's Guide and Reference Manual by Ken Svengalis or Legal Information: How to Find It, How to Use It by Kent C. Olson (note Legal Information: How to Find It, How to Use It does not include single volume works). Similarly, researchers hoping to learn whether a looseleaf service exists for their topic are advised to consult Legal Looseleafs in Print by Arlene Eis. Legal Looseleafs in Print identifies looseleaf publications by subject and title.
