Food for Library Fines Starts March 20

Your chance to pay off your library fines and help a good cause is here. Starting Monday, March 20, and continuing through April 9, University Libraries and the Law Library will be sponsoring their semiannual Food for Fines drive for the Akron-Canton Regional Food Bank.

You can bring in nonperishable food items to pay for your library fines. One food item equals one dollar toward your fines and there is no limit on the number of items you may bring in. This offer cannot be used to pay for billed or lost items.

Food may be dropped off at the Science and Technology Library, Law Library, or Bierce Library Circulation desk.

Any questions can be directed to the law library staff. 

All Your Favorite Study Aids are Online – for FREE!

Whether your favorite study aid is Emanuel’s outlines, Questions and Answers or Sum and Substance Audio, you can access your favorite in one of three online databases!  Online access means no waiting for a book and no fines!

You can even take notes and highlight the ebooks, just like using the print.  And in many cases, the ebooks can be downloaded and/or printed (instructions for these features).

The three databases, all linked from the Law Databases Page, are:

 

 

How to Take Notes and Highlight Wolters-Kluwer Ebook Study Aids

You might know that you have 24/7 unlimited access to Emanuel’s outlines, Examples and Explanations and other great study aids via the Wolters Kluwer Study Aid Library.  But did you know you can take notes, highlight and add bookmarks too?  You can do so by creating a subaccount, and your notes, highlights and bookmarks will be there the next time you log in.  There is a Student User Manual with instructions, but briefly:

  1. Log into Wolters Kluwer Study Aid Library using your library card number, which is your UANet ID.
  2. Once you are logged in click Sign Up in the User Login box on the lefthand side.

You will still be able to read the ebooks on the site even if you don’t create a sub-login; however, you won’t be able to take notes, highlights or add bookmarks.

Please contact the library  with any questions you have about this great resource.
