The University of Iowa Law Library has three basic missions: first, to support all of the domestic, international, comparative, and foreign law scholarship and teaching of both a traditional and interdisciplinary nature that occur in the College of Law; second, to provide the legal and legally related materials necessary to support the research and teaching activities that occur in the University of Iowa community at large; third, to serve the legal research needs of Iowa government officials, the Iowa legal profession, and the Iowa general public for legal information resources not otherwise available to them.
