Since 1954 when Peking University Law School established the information room, the Law Library has passed 57 years and turned into a modern professional library with a relatively large collection and basically integrated service. It didn’t only witnessed the history and glories of the School but also help improve the teaching and research work there. In this way, it made exceptional contribution to the construction of China’s legal system and its progress, and therefore facilitated the spread of law as a discipline and spirit.
The history of The Law Library is the miniature of the construction of China’s legal system and the growth of law education. Its development is inseparable with that of the country in this progressive age as well as the support from all over the society. The library today is made of the effort of the staff, the entire community of the Law School and insightful people in the society. As Peking University Law School keeps development, its academic researches has requested more from the collection and resources of the Law Library. The development of the Library is limited by the funds, thus there exists a great tension between the resources and the actual needs. Such tension makes the Library still far from top universities in the world such as Harvard and Yale, especially in fields of the collection and the electronic resource archives.
Today, the new “Leo KoGuan Building” for the Law School has been finished and the Library has also moved into its spacious and modern new space. The Library and the School have together stepped into a new stage. A first tier university needs a first tier library. Likewise, a first tier law school needs a first tier law library. To build a top world class law school, we sincerely hope alumni and all those who care about the development of Peking University Law School to support the Library and help the Library to reach a new level in its quality. We do need your devoting and benevolent spirit. In return, we would work harder and fight for the development of law education, making the School one of the top in the world, cultivating the best talents in the field of law as well as further improving China’s future legal system.
