Environmental Law Librarian Christine Ryan serves as part of a strong Public Services staff, providing reference, formal instructional services, and expertise in environmental resources.

Environmental Law Collection

The Environmental Collection concentrates materials on the many subjects that relate to environmental decision making. As an evolving discipline, environmental law has focused on different areas such as planning and zoning, solid waste, risk assessment, hazardous wastes, toxics, cost-benefit analysis, biodiversity, sustainability, environmental justice, environmental economics and energy law and policy. The library responds to the evolution of environmental law by purchasing materials in new areas to support the curriculum and experiential programs of the law school. The Collection also includes online materials available by subscription only and linked to from the VLS library web pages.
