Westlaw

GALILEO is now providing Campus Research (Westlaw) instead of Lexis Nexis for our Business Law and Paralegal programs.

I tried finding Westlaw in Databases A-Z under W. It wasn't there on July 1st or 2nd or 3rd. I finally put Westlaw in the Find A Database search box on the Databases A-Z page and voila Campus Research (Westlaw) in the C's came up!

You will need to scroll through the access agreement and click on "I agree" to get to the Campus Research (Westlaw) database.

It is different from Lexis Nexis. Our Business Law students will need to click on the Law tab (News & Business is the default screen). A search in Campus Research (Westlaw) is more forgiving than Lexis Nexis. One can use upper or lower case in the Find a Document by citation: (e.g., 98 S.CT 2733) search. For our Business Law students the left column with Find a Document by citation: (e.g., 98 S.CT 2733) will make searching very easy!

I'll be playing with the Campus Research (Westlaw) with the Business Law instructor. As we discover helpful hints and tricks, I'll let you know what we discover!

To Kill a Mockingbird
