New Lexis and Westlaw Printers
Beginning Monday, January 14th, free Lexis
and Westlaw printing will be available in the computer labs. The
new printers are to be used by students for all printing from Lexis and
Westlaw. Directions for using them will be available in the computer
labs. Staff and faculty should still print to the Document Center.
To use the printers, use the print feature
in Lexis or Westlaw. Do not use the print feature in your browser.
If you do, the job will print on the lab network printer and will be charged
to your Chicago-Kent printing account.
On Monday, January 14th there will be a
special event to promote the printers and Lexis and Westlaw student representatives
will be available throughout the week to answer your questions and to help
you use the new printers. Stop by one of the computer labs to check
out the new printers and pick up your copy of the directions.
Resource of the Week
PapersFirst
from OCLC FirstSearch. After clicking the link, select PapersFirst
from the dropdown menu called 'Select a Topic or Database'. PapersFirst
provides access to abstracts and publication information for papers presented
at conferences worldwide.
Legal Formbooks Tutorial
In this week's Library Tutorial we will
show you the legal formbooks available in the Library, as well as other
less familiar resources that contain legal forms. There is no need
to sign up to attend; just come to the Reference Desk at the scheduled
time. You can find the weekly schedule posted in the entry way to the library.
If you have any questions or suggestions regarding tutorials, please e-mail
Joe Mitzenmacher (JMITZENM).
Consideration for Others in the Library
Please try to maintain a quiet atmosphere
in the Library for the benefit of all those who are studying around you.
If you need to work in a group, study rooms are available. You may
use any unreserved study room, or make a reservation at the Service Desk
with your current ID.
Interlibrary Loan Policy
Interlibrary Loan is now available to
all Downtown Campus students. This service can be used to borrow
a book that is not owned by the Downtown Campus Libraries or a copy of
an article not available in the library. Once you are certain the
library does not own an item and that it cannot be obtained through one
of the online databases maintained by the library, send an email to illreq@kentlaw.edu
to request a loan of the book. The library's directory of online resources,
including the catalog, is at infoctr.edu.
Please note that ILL requests commonly require one to two weeks to fill.
Study Room Policy
Study rooms are for group study by IIT
students using the Downtown Campus Libraries' resources. You may
reserve a room in advance at the Service Desk with your current ID.
Library Cell Phone Policy
Before entering the Library, cell phones
must be turned off. In addition, you must leave the Library before
using your cell phone. We have been inundated with complaints about the
disturbances caused by cell phone usage in the Library, which has forced
us to adopt this policy.
For those of you with an emergency situation
who must be reachable by cell phone, you can leave your phone on ONLY if
it gets your attention by some method other than ringing. If you have one
that vibrates quietly or uses a blinking light, you can leave it on while
you are in the Library. This exception does not change the requirement
that you leave the Library to use your phone.
Library Food and Drink Policy
1) Drinks are permitted, except in the
computer labs, if they are in a reusable hard plastic or metal container
with a permanent lid that does not have to be removed to drink. Water
is allowed in a standard water bottle with a securable cap.
Not allowed are: cans, styrofoam or paper
cups, or soft drinks in bottles.
2) Food is not permitted in the Library.
3) No food or drinks of any kind are allowed
in the computer labs.
Please Guard Your Valuables
Personal belongings, such as laptops,
wallets, purses, briefcases, cell phones and Palmtops should be carried
with you any time you leave your study area.
