UNH Law Library now has access to thousands of business, humanities, science and technology journals via Ebscohost. (Instructions for off campus access.)

Additional information about the database is available here.

Update: As of 7/6/11 it looks like the problem is fixed.

LexisNexis has (inadvertantly?) changed the menu format on law school accounts. Luckily, this is easy to change back. At the top of the screen there is a " Change Menu" option. Simply selected "LEXIS-NEXIS law school" and you'll be back to the same LexisNexis that you know and love.

Beginning in July the UNH Law community will have access to Ebsco! While this name sounds like an alien overlord or new soft drink, it is one of the best databases in the world. More information will be available soon on specific resources, access, and search strategies.

Stay tuned for updates!

Recently the Concord Monitor has instituted a pay wall that restricts non-subscribing users to either 5 or 10 article views per month. (10 articles are available upon registering a username/password with the Monitor.) Subscribers to the Monitor have unlimited access. Full details are available here.

However, UNH Law students/faculty/staff continue to have unlimited access to the Concord Monitor via Westlaw. In addition to legal research both Westlaw and LexisNexis contain many news databases. After logging into Westlaw choose "Search for a Database" in the left column. In WestlawNext start typing "Concord Monitor" into the search bar at the top of the screen and select the Monitor.

Both Westlaw and Next contain Monitor articles (but not pictures or advertisements) from December 2007 to today.

Bonus: You can use Westlaw to have the Monitor delivered to you electronically daily. Once in the Monitor database select "today" as the date and the phrase "Concord Monitor"

Run your search and choose "add to WestClip".

Adjust settings in WestClip and enjoy!
