Services
The New York Law Institute is much more than a lending library – we are a full information services organization, striving to offer our members materials in various formats, including 24/7 availability of electronic databases
Our members are able to gain access to a wide range of information and knowledge based services. Our goal is to increase members’ access to legal resources and draw on our expert staff to provide high-quality research and reference assistance. Our work is designed specifically to aid and support our members’ needs, and can be tailored directly to your requirements.
You can:
NYLI’s staff of experienced, full-time librarians offers professional reference and research assistance to our members. Use this service when you are not sure of what specific kind of book or document you are looking for, when you don’t know where the answer to your question exists, or if you require a complex search that draws upon multiple resources.
NOTE: Research services are billed at a rate of $80 per hour, in 15-minute increments, subject to our Research Services Policy.
You can request individual documents, such as journal articles, book chapters, statutes, session laws, etc. that are held in our collection or can be accessed through a database to be delivered straight to you.
If a document is not available in our collection, we can work with a third-party document delivery service to locate it at no additional cost.
Materials can be e-mailed to your office, sent by fax, or made available online for download.
Remote and on-site access to major legal databases. No additional charges.
Full access to our circulating collection of approximately 300,000 volumes. Our materials circulate for 7 business days, with options to renew for two additional 7-day periods.
