Useful Databases

Although all of these databases contain legal information, you may find some more useful than others. For students taking LPL 720, I recommend LegalTrac, Nexis Uni, and Wiley Online Library. Please note that additional databases may be found on the Levi Watkins Learning Center's website.

In order to access the databases from home, you must first be in our system.

To check this:

• Go to the Library's web site www.lib.alasu.edu
• Click on Library Catalog
• Click on the link that says "patron"
• If you can access your patron information, you are in the system. If not,
  you will need to come to the library and fill out a patron update form.

To access the databases:

• Go to the Library's web site www.lib.alasu.edu
• Click on Databases
• Select a database from the subject areas or from the alphabetical listing
  • The login screen will ask that you:​
    1. Enter your Campus ID without hyphens
    2. Enter your LAST NAME in lower case
• Once in the database enter your search terms in the search boxes provided

If you are in our system and unable to login to the databases please send an email to cdavis@alasu.edu or rcurtis@alasu.edu for support.

If you need help using the databases please contact the Reference Desk (334) 229-4110.
