A reminder for folks working Circulation about Westlaw:
There are students in Criminal Justice and the Legal Assistant Studies who are required to come to the Library to pay and get a receipt for special Westlaw access that the Library does not provide. The students who are allowed this access are on a list at the circulation desk on a clipboard, which also includes the register instructions (Westlaw has its own fee-type key, just like fines and processing fee, on the register).
The process for Westlaw is:
- Check for the student’s name on the authorized list on the clipboard in the drawer at the middle circ computer, cross it off
- Go to the register, hit Clerk, your assigned #, Clerk
- Hit 68 00 (no decimal necessary)
- Hit the Westlaw button
- Hit the Subtotal button
- Hit the payment type (we only accept cash or check until the Mocs card machine is fixed again)
- The register will spit out a small receipt which you will hand to the student. The student must bring this receipt to their department office for the special code
