Lexis Digital Library eBook Pagination Issue
Posted: Fri Sep 03, 2021 11:22 am
Hi everyone,
Just a reminder that you can access free eTextbooks for several law school classes using the links on the following guides:
1L Courses: https://research.lib.buffalo.edu/admitt ... -textbooks
Upper-level Courses: https://research.lib.buffalo.edu/fall21ebooks/home
Several of the links in the guides above will take you to our LexisNexis Digital Library subscription. Since the pagination in the Digital Library typically differs from the pagination in the corresponding print titles, the publisher told us about a workaround where you can search for print pages using brackets. Here is an image showing how to search for the start of print page 15 in an eBook:
Also, our Lexis Representative, Celine was kind enough to prepare a short video walking you through the process: https://lexisnexis.zoom.us/rec/play/7Cn ... 1852473000
Should your eBook not have print pagination indicated with brackets, (which is the case with a couple of titles,) you will need to rely on the sections your professor has assigned rather than searching for the print page numbers. If the sections are not readily apparent from your syllabus you would likely need to clarify that with your professor or borrow a print casebook from a classmate to see which sections in the eBook correspond to the print pages assigned for a particular night's reading.
I hope this helps clear up any confusion! As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
All the best,
Brian
