The Library catalog - more than "just books"!

Did you know that the Hamline Law Library includes many of the items within Westlaw, Lexis and HeinOnline (among others) in our catalog? Instead of having to guess where that treatise might be, hoping it's online somewhere, you can start with our catalog and directly find what you need.

For Westlaw, you will find treatises, statutes, restatements, directories and model & uniform laws, forms, encyclopedias and dictionaries. For Lexis, we have included the treatise collection. For HeinOnline, you will find all journals and the Legal Classics collection. Soon you will also find the items within the World Trials database.

Here's an example of how this works...

  1. Search CLICnet by title or keyword:







  2. Determine which title you're looking for and click on the name:







  3. In the record, click on the "Connect to" link. In this case, it's a title in Westlaw so you will have to login once you click through. Once logged in, you will be able to search the book or locate a specific section.
