       -          Legal Databases news:

                          LexisNexis 


LexisNexis is currently available only on the Internet, which means that staff and students will be able to access it from any computer with Internet access as well as from home.  Please ensure that you have a valid PIN in order to access the database.

             Jutastat

Jutastat is still available on the Intranet (on campus), but is also (with fewer user licenses and titles) available on the Internet.  It therefore can also be accessed from home with a valid PIN.
