Make sure you do not miss messages sent by your faculty!  Last fall, students’ University e-mail address changed to @zips.uakron.edu.   If you registered using the old address, the e-mail function in TWEN and Lexis Web Course software will not work properly.

Here is how you can update your profile on Westlaw and Lexis. 

For Westlaw: Log into Westlaw http://lawschool.westlaw.com/ and just to the right of your name is the UPDATE link.  Click on that link to update your profile.

For LexisNexis: Log into LexisNexis http://www.lexisnexis.com/lawschool/ and click on the HELP tab.  At the next screen, click on UPDATE REGISTRATION INFO.

Questions?  Contact Lynn Lenart, 330-972-6357, llenart@uakron.edu.  Office 269, Law Library, second floor.

Effective August 16, 2010, the Law Library will no longer handle cash or checks.  Patrons wishing to pay overdue fines at the Law Library will need to use a Zip Card.  Funds may be deposited to a Zip Card at one of three Zip Card Offices on campus, at one of the Value Transfer Stations throughout campus (including the Law Library), or online.  Patrons wishing to pay with cash or check may do so at the Main University Library or the Science and Technology Library.

Further Zip Card information may be found here – www.uakron.edu/aux/zipcard

Monday 4/26 and Tuesday 4/27 the Law Library staff invites law students to stop by the Circulation Desk from 8:15 a.m. until supplies last for a cup of coffee.

You supply the spill-proof cup and we will supply the coffee from a local coffee shop.

OASP and Sum and Substance

The circulation period and overdue fines for OASP and Sum and Substance materials will change April 23 and continue through the end of the semester. These materials will circulate for only 24 hours (instead of 72) 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. Floyd or Ms. Nevins.
