For those who are new to the Law School or just this blog, welcome! This is where we report news, updates and offer tips for training in library resources. The blog is currently written by SarahLouise, the Law Librarian who works Wednesdays to Fridays, as we have a vacancy for the other half of the post. We hope to have a new Law Librarian joining the team over the next few months and will introduce them when they start!<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve received quite a few queries about locating some key resources for research and study over the last few months so we wanted to clarify how best to access these. First up, <strong>the Stair Memorial Encyclopaedia<\/strong>. This is a resource which is core for our undergraduate students as they get to grips with Scots Law. We do have instructions listed on the<a href=\"https:\/\/edinburgh-uk.libguides.com\/Law\/HelpandTraining\"><strong> Law Databases Help &amp; Training page<\/strong><\/a> under &#8216;Resources for Scottish Legal System&#8217;, but we wanted to add some screenshots here for the visual learners.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To log in to<strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lexisnexis.com\/uk\/legal\">Lexis+<\/a><\/strong>, you will need to select &#8216;academic log in&#8217;. You may then be presented with a dropdown box to select &#8216;UK Access Federation&#8217;. Select &#8216;University of Edinburgh&#8217; from the list, and you will be logged in. Alternatively you may have the option to select &#8216;University of Edinburgh from the front page &#8211; do this if available!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-454 \" src=\"https:\/\/libraryblogs.is.ed.ac.uk\/lawlibrarian\/files\/2023\/01\/Lexis-login.jpg\" alt=\"Screengrab of login page for LexisLibrary\/Lexis+.
