Library Orientation
Find Books

Paper books can be searched through the UTL (Shenzhen University Town Library) and the Peking University Library websites. Simply enter the title of the book you are looking for in the library's search bar. Note that paper resources in the Peking University Library at the main campus can only be accessed by contacting STL Law librarians.

Find Journals & Articles

​​​​If you know the title of the journal, you can look it up directly by the journal name from library's website. If you find the abbreviation of a journal, you can go online and search for the full name before doing so. For example, the full name of E.J.I.L. is European Journal of International Law 1990-, so you need to type "European Journal of International Law" into the search box to search.

In addition, a law journal index is a compilation of law review and law-related articles organized by author, title, or subject. When you have some good search terms, such as the name of a case or the popular name of a statute, indexes can be a useful tool for finding highly relevant law review articles quickly.
