Orientation – Class of 2014

Law Library tours and related Library orientation activities are the afternoon of Thursday, August 18. Here’s some useful information for 1Ls.

• Books in print or online are found in several ways. Two places to start:
  • ANTPAC – for books, journals, and other resources at UCI campus libraries, including the Law Library
  • Melvyl – for books, journals, and other resources at libraries all over the world
• For off-campus access to anything on the web that the library pays for, you usually need to connect to a Virtual Private Network (VPN.) During the school year, we encourage you to use the UCI Law VPN. Check the VPN Instructions from UCI Law IT.
• Lexis and Westlaw account questions can be directed to student representatives.
• Hours on the Law Library website are updated daily. There’s also a google calendar. UCI Law Library – Hours.
