Hello Law Students!

It's that time of year again. It's ebook time!

The Law Library has put together a list of your required textbooks by class! It is available for:
1Ls here: https://research.lib.buffalo.edu/1l-spring-2024-books
Upper-Level students here: https://research.lib.buffalo.edu/upper- ... 2024-books

These guides include links to the various online retailers, the University Bookstore, and when available, links to free electronic copies provided by the Law Library. Course books available on Lexis Digital Library or West Academic should already be accessible on the linked pages.

For titles available through the Lexis Nexis Digital Library, you may be prompted to enter our Library Access Code. If so, it is Buffalolaw, all one word with a capital "B."

For access to any books published by Aspen, we are participating in Aspen Publishing’s Digital Bookshelf program, which will enable you to access your course materials quickly and easily via Brightspace.

To access your Connected eBook:

1. Log in to your account on Brightspace and click into your professor’s course.

2. Click “Content” from the top navigation menu. There, you’ll find the link to your Connected eBook.

3. Click the link, then log into, or create, your Casebook Connect account.

4. Once you are logged into Casebook Connect, you will see your Connected eBook on your bookshelf.

5. In the future, you can access the Connected eBook by clicking the same link from your Brightspace course or by logging in directly to Casebook Connect.

If you do not see your course book on your Brightspace page, your professor may have not uploaded it yet. If you still are not seeing your book by the start of the semester, don't hesitate to reach out.

If you need additional technical support, please visit Aspen Publishing’s Help Center to watch a brief instructional video or to contact the customer support team.

Additionally, just like last semester, Aspen/Wolters Kluwer offers the option to receive a loose leaf copy of your textbooks for $49+ shipping. You can also receive loose-leaf copies of books that are not in our collection for $99+ shipping. Ordering information can be found here: https://survey.zohopublic.com/zs/ogBT7L

Finally, regarding print textbook access, the Law Library does offer access to physical copies of some required 1L course books as well as some upper-level course books for in-library use only. One copy will be placed on the 5th floor of the Law Library and available for reading inside the library without check out. The other copy will be located behind the Service Desk on the 2nd floor and will be available for a 2 hour loan. These may be used within the library only. We also have scanners on the 2nd and 5th floors if you would like to scan your readings ahead of time.

I hope you will find the Textbook Guide useful as you work on compiling your course materials, and that you will make use of our electronic resources and print Course Reserve Collection once classes begin. Remember, The Textbook Guide is a work-in-progress, so please check back periodically for updates. If you see a class or title missing, be sure to email me for further information!

As always, if you have any questions, please let me know!
Best,
Austin
