Lexis and Westlaw Printers
Free Lexis and Westlaw printing is available to students using the Lexis
and Westlaw printers. Directions for using the printers are available
in the computer labs and at the Service Desk. 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. Printing using the
browser's feature will charge the job to your Chicago-Kent account.
Check the Lexis and Westlaw entries in the Record for further details
and updates on the free printing.
Resource of the Week
InterAm Database. This database provides background information and legal
materials for Latin American countries. If you would like to use this resource,
please ask a reference librarian.
Company Information Tutorial
In this week's tutorial, we will show you how to find company information using
the print resources available in the Library, as well as various electronic
resources. There is no need to sign up for tutorials; just come to the Reference
Desk at the scheduled time. You can find the schedule for the week posted in the
entry way of the Library. If you have questions or suggestions regarding tutorials please send
an e-mail to Joe Mitzenmacher (JMITZENM).
Interlibrary Loan Policy
Interlibrary Loan is 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.
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.
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. |
