Beginning this Sunday, November 1, ALL Westlaw users (students, faculty and staff) will be required to migrate to using a "strong" OnePass password. Users will have until January 31, 2010 to comply with this requirement. Please note: You should NOT try to change your current password to a strong OnePass before November 1.

Here is a link to a tutorial that will explain how to to change your current Westlaw password to a strong OnePass.

If you have any questions as you go through this process, contact one of the following people:

Ben Quackenbush (bquackenbush01@hamline.edu); Kelly Stengert (kstengert01@hamline.edu); Amy Feddema (amy.feddema@thomsonreuters.com) or Megan Jens, our librarian who serves as liaison for Westlaw (mjens01@hamline.edu).   

Students are reminded that it is not efficient to print entire sections or chapters of the U.S. Code, entire ALR annotations, or any other large documents in Westlaw and Lexis. Also, do NOT hit the print button more than once! Sending enormous jobs to the Westlaw and Lexis printers wastes paper and prevents your fellow students from being able to use them. It is more efficient to copy and paste only what you need to a word document, and then print it.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Due to a family emergency, there will be no reference librarian on duty from 5 - 8 p.m. on  Friday, October 23, 2009. We apologize for any inconvenience to our library patrons.
