Here is a selection of the questions we have been asked about the temporary Library at 10 Fetter Lane.

NB: The answer to all these questions is YES.

• Are the same current textbooks, law reports and journals available as before?
• Is the enquiry service still available?
• Is the current Commonwealth collection available?
• Is there the same access to subscription databases such as Lexis and Westlaw as before?
• Can I print from the databases?
• Will my existing photocopying/scanning account still work?
• Do you have Wi-Fi?
• Are you continuing to provide a document supply service?
• Can I borrow books overnight, as a barrister?
• Is the Library open in the evenings? (Monday to Thursday open until 8pm, and 7pm on Friday.)
• Are you still participating in the Saturday opening rota with the other Inns?
• Can non-current material be retrieved from the Littleton Basement? (NB the old editions that were formerly housed in the Gallery are on open access at 10 Fetter Lane.)
• Does the temporary library provide a quiet working space?
• Does the library have reader places? (There are 24 reader places at single, two-seater and four-seater tables, as you prefer.)
• Are your legal research training sessions continuing?

The Inner Temple Library runs training sessions for new pupils which aim to improve legal research skills.

The date for the autumn 2019 session is Thursday 17 October 2019 from 6pm to 7.30pm in the Llewelyn Davies Room on the first floor at 1 Mitre Court, Inner Temple.

Refreshments will be provided at the session.

Those wishing to attend can register for a place by emailing trainingsessions@innertemple.org.uk.

Please indicate the chambers where you are a pupil.

This session is aimed at pupils who did not attend the legal research qualifying sessions as students.

A list of New Titles and New Editions received by the Library between July and September 2019 has just been published.

Confused by the range of databases available in the Library?

Come along to our refresher sessions at 10 Fetter Lane, 5th Floor.

Sessions will be run by trainers from the online publishers and will provide an overview of each database. The drop-in sessions will provide an opportunity to ask questions of trainers on a one-to-one basis. Booking is required for the formal sessions at 1pm and 5pm. This can be done by contacting tdennis@innertemple.org.uk.
