Stefanie Weigmann (x8-4479) provides faculty support for LexisNexis and Westlaw, such as assisting with custom logins, adding a shortcut to the services to your computer, and troubleshooting any access or printing issues.  All faculty members are automatically connected to the high speed printers located in the Pappas Copy Room.   Printouts are delivered on weekdays to faculty mailboxes.

Licensed Databases

The library licenses resources from hundreds of providers.  The majority of these resources may be accessed by using your BU username and Kerberos password. 

An alphabetical list of databases and subject guides to electronic resources provide access to products licensed by the law school.  For non-legal materials, the University maintains similar lists on the page Find Articles in Databases.  

Use the links from the library web pages or your customized research portal to access these resources as they allow you to authenticate with your BU email login.

B.U. Catalog

The University’s online catalog may be used to identify materials in the law library collection and at other campus libraries.   Other resources listed below may be used to identify articles in journals and to locate research databases.

Electronic Journals

The University licenses over 37,000 electronic journals, many in PDF format.  These journals may be retrieved from any location via the Internet using a BU username and Kerberos password.
