Online Library Resources
- All alumni have free, offsite access to a package of electronic resources. Learn more about the alumni e-library. Databases include: Proquest, Hein’s Law Library Journal and Mergent
- Ez-Proxy Databases: Most of the Law Library databases are ez-proxy—meaning that users are authenticated as patrons entitled to access subscribed content by providing their NetID and password. RIA Checkpoint, Oxford, Cambridge, ALM Legal Compass, and Hein Online are examples of databases that fall within this category. Much of the Library’s access to newspapers, including access to the Financial Times, is through ez-proxy databases. The University’s electronic resources team expects that access to these databases generally should last until the end of August 2020 for May 2020 graduates, but they cannot give a firm date.
Career Services
- Vault: 2020 graduates will be able to access Vault through May, 2021 through their Symplicity/CSM account.
