About Off-Campus Access

About Off-Campus Access

The Boley Law Library is pleased to introduce off-campus access to research databases formerly available only from on-campus computers.

Internet resources on the Research Databases page, lawlib.lclark.edu/research/dbs_indexes.php, are commercial electronic resources to which the library subscribes and are currently available off-campus to authorized users only. Authorized users are current Lewis & Clark Law School students, faculty and staff.

Access

Whether on- or off-campus, to gain access to an electronic database simply click on the link provided on the Law Library's Research Databases page.

From on-campus: you will be connected directly to the selected database.

From off-campus: when you click on a resource the first time during your current browser session, the Off-Campus Database Access page will come up. Before you can continue, you must be authenticated as a current L&C Law student, faculty or staff. Authentication is independent of the Web browser you are using. Once you have logged in you will not be required to log in again unless you close your browser.

Username and Password

Off-campus access to the electronic resources which the Boley Law Library subscribes to is available to current Lewis & Clark Law School students, faculty and staff. Authentication requires that you know your L&C Email username (account login) and password.

Your L&C email username is that part of your email address to the left of the @ sign. It is also referred to as your account name or login.

Your password is  your L&C email password, the set of letters and digits that you are prompted for when you fetch your mail (also referred to as your UNIX password). It is case sensitive.

If your username and password are correct and authentication fails, please contact the Boley Reference Desk at (503) 768-6688 or email lawlib@lclark.edu.

Forgot your password? No problem.

• Go to the L&C IT Reset Your Password page and create a new password. Once created, try the database link again.
• If you still cannot access the database please contact the Boley Reference Desk at (503) 768-6688 or email lawlib@lclark.edu and we'll troubleshoot the problem.

Finally, you can always access all of our subscription electronic databases in the Law Library or from any computer on campus without any other required authorization.

"Ask at reference desk for password"
