Prefer digital access? No problem! The Law Library also offer access to digital textbooks through West Academic Casebook Archive and Lexis Digital Library. These online platforms provide convenient and easy-to-use access to a variety of textbooks and legal materials. Though these might not have every single textbook you need, it’s a great place to begin looking when you need a textbook in a hurry. With Lexis Digital Library, you can annotate as you go and save your annotations to your account to refer to later, and on West Academic Casebook Archive, you have the option to download and print certain pages, or even bookmark your spot so you don’t forget. To access these databases, click on the hyperlinks above, or from the Law Library’s homepage, click into the Electronic Databases List and find them alphabetically.
