Home > E-Resources > Using Electronic Resources in Syllabi and Class Websites
The Library encourages faculty to use our electronic resources for law school and business school coursework. Please be aware, however, that if you use links to subscription electronic resources from the Library website or from Lexis and Westlaw, sometimes these links will not work without special formatting.
Linking to a Database:
To link to one of our electronic resources available from the Library’s website, please use the link found at http://library.kentlaw.edu/eresources/. For example, to link to JSTOR, use this URL: http://libproxy.kentlaw.edu/login?url=http://www.jstor.org/search. Do not use http://www.jstor.org.
To copy a link, right-click on the name of the database and then select “Copy Shortcut”. This will copy the URL, which you can then paste into your syllabus or website. Do not click the link and copy the URL directly from the browser.
Linking to Articles in a Database:
To link to an article within a database, you will need to add http://libproxy.kentlaw.edu/login?url= to the front of the URL. A typical URL to an article will look something like this: http://libproxy.kentlaw.edu/login?url=http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0017-811X%28200205%29115%3A7%3C1763%3ABRG%3E2.0.CO%3B2-U.
Linking to Articles in Lexis and Westlaw:
To link to cases, statutes, articles, or other resources within Westlaw, please contact Stacey Acquavella (stacey.acquavella@thomson.com). If you wish to link to Lexis resources, please contact Jonnell Simpson (jonnell.simpson@lexisnexis.com).
