[quote=Anonymous] As I understand it, most of the outside users of Georgetown law's materials are corporate entities. Law firms use the school's resources as part of legal practice. This allows the law firm to spend significantly less on there in house libraries and information services. Not as many requests from academics and policymakers. So, I think it is perfectly natural for Georgetown to seek payment, particularly when commercial enterprises are using their resources. Maintaining a library costs money, both the physical resources, and the human resources. I am not at all offended that Georgetown charges outsiders for this. If you have a particular need to use the library on a very limited basis, you may wish to call directly and seek a waiver. That, or connect with someone in your subject area at the law school who may be able to help out. [/quote]
