Wireless Network Upgrade on Monday, Oct. 6

As you may have seen on the postings around the building, the DragonFly wireless network will be deactivated as of October 6, 2008. Prior to that date, we strongly recommend you connect to the new wireless network, DragonFly3. Instructions for connecting to the DragonFly3 network can be found at http://drexel.edu/dragonfly3, and there will also be printed copies available on the door outside of the Lawtech offices. Lawtech will also be conducting workshops on connecting to the new network during the week of September 29 to October 3.

If you are unable to set up for the DragonFly3 network prior to the October 6 cutover date, you will still be able to connect to the network by using an Ethernet cable and plugging into the network jacks available in the classrooms, study rooms, and throughout the Legal Research Center until you have set up the DragonFly3 connection.

 

Trial of Oxford Public International Law Databases through October 15

The LRC is offering a university-wide trial through October 15 of two Oxford University Press databases on public international law: the Oxford Reports on International Law and the Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law. We welcome your comments respecting the usefulness of these databases; please send any comments about these databases to Rob Richards (rcr38@drexel.edu) by October 17.

Search HeinOnline and more using Google Scholar

Google Scholar has begun indexing law journals from HeinOnline, which means you can more easily search for articles in Hein and many other resources, in a familiar and easy-to-use interface. To link to Hein and other Drexel journals from Google Scholar, first add Drexel in the Library Links within Scholar Preferences;Open Access. After updating your preferences, you will see a "Find it @Drexel" link in each of your results. Just click on this link to see if the journal is available through Drexel Libraries. It's quick, easy, and works on or off-campus!

For more information on Google Scholar's addition of HeinOnline, along with searching tips, see the HeinOnline blog.
