Thanks to a standardized law library cataloging system that was conceived long before this law
school opened, contract theory books can be housed in at least three different places in the
collection: (1) in the K 800s, with other legal theory/jurisprudence books; (2) in the KF 800s,
with the more "doctrinal" contracts books; or, (3) if they are published outside the U.S., in the
KD 1500s. The Reserve Room is catalogued just like the rest of the collection, so the books I
have placed on reserve are shelved by their call numbers. Fortunately, the Reserve Room
collection is sufficiently small that the books are all on the first row of shelves to the left.
