You may send print jobs to the Westlaw and Lexis printers. Campus IT corrected the network issue.
Thank you,

Westlaw and Lexis Printer Issues
We are currently experiencing network issues that are interfering with the Westlaw and Lexis printers. Please do not send any print jobs to the Westlaw and Lexis printers. I will notify the law school when the network problems have been corrected. The student network printers and print release stations do not seem to be effected and are printing fine.
Westlaw and Lexis Printing During Winter Break
The University will be closed beginning Saturday, December 24 and will reopen on Tuesday, January 3, 2012. This means that the Law Library will also be closed. If you plan on conducting research on LexisNexis or Westlaw during break, please do not send your print jobs to the Westlaw or Lexis printers in the Law Library. You may wish to print to your attached printer or download your work to your computer instead.
For more information about the Law Library’s Hours during winter break, follow this link -> http://www.uakron.edu/law/library/about/hours.dot
For questions about Westlaw or LexisNexis please contact Ms. Lenart at 330-972-6357 or e-mail her at llenart@uakron.edu
Have a wonderful winter break!
New Student Copying Machine
Newer, faster and FREE scanning to USB drive!
The new copying machine prints in black and white or color. Color copies cost $.20. Black and white are still $.07. Scanning to your USB drive is FREE.
You still need to swipe your Zipcard card to activate the scanner and you need at least $.07 on your Zipcard, but no money will be deducted when you save your copy to your USB drive.
Instructions for scanning can be found by the copier. Ask library staff for help.
Law Library Reading Period & Finals Announcements
OASP and Sum & Substance- Circulation Changes
The circulation period and overdue fines for OASP and Sum and Substance materials will change for Reading Period and Finals. Starting on Nov. 22, these materials will circulate for only 1 day (instead of 72 hours) and no renewals will be allowed. Overdue fines for these materials will increase from $1.00 per day to $5.00 per day.
These changes provide access to the materials for a greater number of students. If you have questions regarding these changes please stop by the Circulation Desk and ask to speak with Ms. Nevins or a librarian.
Don’t forget…you have access to West Study Aids on Westlaw! See this posting for more information.

Shhh! Law Students are Studying . . .
It is the time of the semester when students are writing papers and preparing for exams. Please be courteous of your fellow students and help control the noise level throughout the Law Library. Please put your cell phones and pagers on vibrate and conduct quiet phone conversations either outside of the Law Library or near the Law Library restrooms. If you listen to any form of audio, use headphones and keep the volume low. Please limit conversations in open study areas and if you want to work in a group, please use a study room. When using group study rooms please be respectful of your neighbors and keep discussions under control, the walls are not soundproof.
