News and Announcements for Returning Students

Westlaw Offline Printing is no longer available. West's parent company, Thomson Reuters has pulled the plug on all off line printing. You'll need to make more use of the alternatives to printing such as saving documents or search results as PDF's or saving them in your research files on Westlaw. Watch for brown bags if you need additional training about these services or contact a reference librarian for questions or help.

"Bob & Chris's Office"??! Bob and Chris have moved to the new IT Suite located on the north side of the first floor where the Kutak Computer Lab was located. This new location will make it easier to find Bob and Chris.

Computer Lab? Since the IT department has moved into the site of the old computer lab, we've taken a new approach to making computers available for students, laptops for checkout. The library has acquired six laptops that may be checked out from the circulation desk. In order to check out the computers you'll need to be a law student in good standing and you may only check them out for one day at a time and agree to be responsible for any damage or losses when the equipment is returned.

Need to Recharge? Thomson Reuters has donated a "quick charge" station for your electronic devices. It will fit all models of iPhones, iPads and many other models of smart phones and tablets and we've located it in the entry area of the library near the sofas.
