Online Chat for Help with Electronic Databases

Sue Altmeyer, Electronic Services Librarian, sue.altmeyer@law.csuohio.edu | November 29, 2007 - 19:20

Hein Online now has an online chat feature for you to get help with your searches. (Thanks to the Ross-Blakely Law Library Blog for the tip) From the main page, click on the link that looks like this:

If you are not familiar with Hein Online, it is a great place to find older law journal articles that are not on Lexis or Westlaw. There are also more recent law journal articles, federal regulation materials, federal legislative history materials and more.

Don't forget that Lexis and Westlaw also have online chat features, as well as hotlines to help you with your research. On Lexis, click on the "live support" link. On Westlaw, click on the Help link in the top right hand corner. For help with BNA databases, click on "contact us" at the top of the screen for phone and email contact information. See the Electronic Resources page for a list of BNA databases.

Of course, the law library research librarians will be happy to help you with any of these databases.

Study Rooms---Book 'Em Early

Jessica Mathewson-Library Media Technical Asst.-jessica.mathewson@law.csuohio.edu | November 29, 2007 - 12:10

As we prepare for this most joyous exam season...some study room advice...

BOOK 'EM EARLY. Study rooms may be reserved 72 hrs in advance in person and 24 hrs in advance via phone. You must have 2 or more people in order to reserve a study room and we will hold the room up to 30 mins before it will be canceled and opened up for another study group. Study rooms may be reserved up to 3 continuous hours.

We do ask if you aren't able to make your reservation to give us a call so we can free it up for another study group.
