Access to Law/Legal Resources

Resources listed in this guide include print materials in Andersen Library, online resources that are free (governmental or other), and some online library subscription resources. Off-campus access to online subscription resources, e.g., Westlaw Campus Research, is restricted to UW-Whitewater's faculty, staff, and current students. Andersen Library is open to public patrons, who may use subscription databases on site after obtaining log in information from the Circulation Desk.
