Welcome to the Fred Parks Law Library
Welcome to The Fred Parks Law Library at South Texas College of Law, a facility serving a law school student population of approximately 1200 persons and assisting a faculty population of 55 full-time professors and roughly an equal number of adjunct professors. The Fred Parks Law Library was completed in 2001 and measures 72,304 square feet. The Library encompasses five floors as well as a sixth-floor conference area and rooftop terrace.
The Library's collection consists of approximately 450,000 volumes and volume equivalents. Our computer labs provide students and faculty access to legal databases, to the Internet, and to word processing software. Each seat within the library is wired for a laptop computer connection.
Because our Library is a partial U.S. Government Documents Depository, the collection is available for use by the general public. Our growing Special Collections Department houses valuable and rare books, including items dating to the 16th century. The library is the custodian for the archive of the law school and its departments. Also, we maintain an archive for Houston Area Law Librarians, known as HALL.
Our library services are provided by ten librarians and twelve support staff. Nine of our librarians have a Master's Degree in Library & Information Science. In addition, five librarians have dual degrees, possessing a Juris Doctorate (J.D.) as well as the Master's Degree. Our librarians and support staff are available for consultation when you visit our library or contact us by telephone or by email.
Welcome to The Fred Parks Law Library and to our continuously developing library webpages. Read our library's objective's at http://www.stcl.edu/library/objectives.html.
