Michie’s, Statutes, and more available electronically https://blog.richmond.edu/lawlibrary/?p=3088 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 15:03:42 +0000 http://blog.richmond.edu/lawlibrary/?p=3088 Do you need model jury instructions, the code, or a benchbook? You’re in luck, the library now offers access to the Lexis Digital Library with hundreds of titles for research and practice. All titles are available for use both online and offline. Online usage requires Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge; the library will not work with internet explorer. You can also use the library on your tablet or phone with the Lexis Digital Library app. The app is available for iOS or Android. Once you’ve got the library pulled up online or through the iOS/Android app, enter the code “richmond” to start using the library.

Titles are sorted by subject and you can easily search or browse for the title or topic that you need. All of the titles can be annotated and highlighted – and the annotations and highlights will sync across your devices so you don’t need to worry that you’ll lose notes by switching between your tablet, phone, and computer.

Contact Molly Lentz-Meyer at mlentzme@richmond.edu with any questions.

Remote Access to Textbooks and Study Aids – UPDATED https://blog.richmond.edu/lawlibrary/?p=3071 Tue, 17 Mar 2020 03:22:06 +0000 http://blog.richmond.edu/lawlibrary/?p=3071 Read this post to find options for electronic access to law school textbooks and study aids.]]>

Beginning the week of March 23, all law classes at the University of Richmond School of Law are going to be held online.  Read below for tips on how to get access to electronic texts to prepare for your classes, wherever you are located. We updated this on March 25. There is also a guide to various related issues here on our website.

In response to the public health crisis, several publishers are providing access to their textbooks for students who cannot return to campus to get books.  The Richmond Law Library already provides access to many study aids, hornbooks, audio lectures and flashcards that all enrolled students can use.

Electronic Textbooks and Casebooks

Wolters Kluwer, Carolina Academic Press, and others

A group of publishers, including Wolters Kluwer and Carolina Academic Press provide access through the VitalSource platform. This access is for anybody who lost access to books as a result of the shift to online classes.  Here are some example covers:

  1. To get started, go to bookshelf.vitalsource.com and log-in or create a Bookshelf account with your @richmond.edu email address.
  2. Here are instructions on creating a Bookshelf account for both students and instructors.
  3. Log in and click on the “Explore” tab in the upper left corner of the screen to search for and check out textbooks.

Note: On this platform, individual students have a limit of seven titles to download.  This temporary access ends May 25, 2020.

West Academic

If West Academic publishes your textbook or casebook, here are instructions for getting online access for required materials when you cannot access the print textbook:

  1. Set up an account with West Academic, using your @richmond.edu email: https://eproducts.westacademic.com/
  2. Call West Academic customer service at 877.888.1330 (ext.4) to setup course eBook access
  3. If you cannot get through on the telephone, email them at: support@westacademic.com

Additional Publishers

If you do not find your textbook from one of the first two services, the service RedShelf also provides limited access to content for students unable to access physical books.  These include publishers such as Pearson, McGraw Hill, Elsevier, Sage, University of Chicago Press and other publishers listed on this page.

Following are the steps to create an account with RedShelf and look for eBooks available on their platform:

  1. Create an account at: https://spidershop.redshelf.com, using your @richmond.edu email
  2. Go to this page: http://about.redshelf.com/redshelfresponds and scroll to the bottom.
  3. Click on the link “Access Free eBooks”
  4. Search for your book and add it to your shelf.

RedShelf titles available through this emergency service will be available through May 25, 2020.

Carolina Academic Press and Lexis Titles

The law library continues to provide access to books from LexisNexis through their eBook platform.  This collection now includes titles from Carolina Academic Press.  Information on the LexisNexis titles (which includes statutes, Michie’s and many other titles), is found on this blog post with access details.

To view materials from the Carolina Academic Press collection, use this link to the set of materials available through the end of exams.  This includes nearly fifty titles, including some required for current classes.

Study Aids, Hornbooks, Nutshells, Flashcards, Audio Lectures

The library continues to provide access to numerous study aids, available to the entire Richmond Law community.  Book titles include series such as: Nutshells, Sum & Substance, Glannon, Gilbert, Short & Happy Guides, Emmanuel.  For audio, you can access the Law School Legends as well as Sum & Substance recordings.  There are also flashcards and supplemental lessons.

Here are direct links to both collections, which require VPN (Virtual Private Network) access away from campus:

If you need help with research materials, or you’re not able to find what you need, here are options for remote legal research and reference support.

Zoom – Set up your account https://blog.richmond.edu/lawlibrary/?p=3050 Sun, 15 Mar 2020 14:41:46 +0000 http://blog.richmond.edu/lawlibrary/?p=3050 Your professors will be using Zoom and other technologies to teach remotely. It's time to set up your account and familiarize yourself with this user-friendly tool before classes resume.]]>

Your professors will be using Zoom and other technologies to teach remotely.  To set up your Zoom account, visit urichmond.zoom.us – click “sign in” to configure your account and download the Zoom app.  Sign in with your netID and password via the University’s webpage. BE SURE TO SIGN IN VIA SSO, not Google if using a mobile app.  It’s that easy!

Now is the time to become familiar with the tool.  On the top of the app you will see “contacts.”  Everyone who has logged into their Zoom account once will be listed.  Notice the green dot – that is an indication that the person is online.  Mason Ramsey, Carl Hamm, Paul Birch, and Kim Edwards will be available to either type chat or video chat with you.  A red dot or video camera will indicate the person is on another call.

You will be hearing more from your professors and deans on next steps as we venture into unchartered territory.  Please take the time to familiarize yourselves with this communication tool before classes resume.
