Our graduates, while on-campus, will be able to access a number of specialized databases from our guest computers located in the Reading Room of the law library, including HeinOnline and BNA.
Westlaw
The law library currently provides graduates access to a limited public edition of Westlaw on the law library’s two guest computers located in our Reading Room.

Printing
Printing in the law library is available to our community of law school graduates by using PaperCut, our pay-for-print system. Before you print, you must create a guest account on the PaperCut website where you will fund it using your credit card. The cost for printing is 10¢ per page. When using WestlawNext, you also have the option to email your documents for free.

The copy machines take cash or you can purchase a copy card. The copy card itself costs $1 and must be purchased with a $1 bill. After purchase, value may be added to the card with $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills.
