When you graduate from CSU|LAW you can:
- Use the library's collection of print and other materials. Reference help available during Research Services Hours.
- Use many of the law databases while in the library, including Westlaw Patron Access, HeinOnline, and Nexis Uni. Alumni do not have remote access to these databases.
- Check out non-reference materials with an Alumni Borrower's Card or Ohio Supreme Court Bar Card.
- Get wireless Internet access using the free unsecured CSUGUEST network, but you cannot print from your laptop.
- Use public workstations to access legal sites, .edu sites and .gov sites. Most commercial sites are blocked on the public workstations unless they are legal research sites. The home page on these work stations is Free Electronic Research, which is a portal to legal information available in the library and on the web. Print to the attached laser printer for $.10 a copy using dollar bills or change, or download results to your own USB drive. Some databases, such as Nexis Uni and HeinOnline, allow you to email documents to yourself.
- Copy forms available on CD-ROM onto your laptop or a USB drive using public workstations.
- Ask the research librarians for help via phone (216 687-6877), chat (click on the chat icon on the library home page), or email: research.servicesnull@law.csuohio.nulledu.
- Access CALI for 6 months after graduation to help study for the bar. After that, annual dues are $250. Contact CALI directly.
NOTE: Lexis and Westlaw may be available on a limited basis for a limited time after graduation. The details as to what is provided and for how long vary from year to year. Consult the CSU|LAW Library Blog for more information.
