Faculty Services

The Current Index to Periodicals is available through HeinOnline.

Faculty members can also subscribe to a customized program called SmartCILP that provides automatic e-mail notice of specific subjects and/or journals. An authorization code is required to register for SmartCILP (see below)

Full-time faculty can access Law360 on the school’s network or via a separate Law360 user.com ID. If a full-time faculty member is interested in a separate Law360 ID for off-campus access, please email Amber Cain.

Adjunct faculty can access Law360 through the school’s network or through Lexis+ only.
