COMPUTER USE

Wireless access to the law school’s online network is available throughout the library for current students, faculty, and staff. Study rooms and study tables are equipped with power for laptops. Two computer labs also are available on the third floor of the library, as is a network printer. The computer labs are open for use by current students, faculty, and staff, as well as by current members of the Friends of the Library and the Alumni Association. Alternating computer labs sometimes will be closed when reserved for classes.

SUBSCRIPTION DATABASES

Westlaw and Lexis passwords are distributed to new students during orientation. These accounts and printing on Westlaw and LexisNexis printers are provided to currently matriculating students, faculty, and staff. Printers are located on the third floor of the library, in the printer room adjacent to the two computer labs. Training is provided by Westlaw and Lexis representatives, as well as by the library’s staff of professional librarians.
Also, the library subscribes to a variety of online databases for searching journals, legislative materials, and myriad reference sources across disciplines. All subscription databases may be accessed by students, faculty, and staff from the library’s homepage at: http://www.tourolaw.edu/library.
 

CALI

During orientation, students are given DVD-ROMs and password activation codes for using CALI (Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction). CALI provides interactive online exercises and answers, distance learning, and podcasting on legal topics. This service provides an important supplement to traditional textbooks and learning aids for law students.
