Shepard's™ Guidelines

Shepards Use

The University of Colorado Law Library offers Shepards on one public access computer.  The computer is the left most computer terminal on the counter located near the Reference Desk.

  1. The computer is available on a first come, first served basis for a period of 30 minutes.

  2. If no one is waiting to use the computer, a patron may continue using Westlaw for more than 30 minutes.

  3. If another patron is waiting, the first patron may continue using the computer:

    * for the remainder of their 30 minutes, or

    * for a further 5 minutes in order to close their research.

  4. Please sign in for Shepards use on the clip board provided next to the Shepards computer terminal. If you do not sign in and another patron requests use of the terminal, we will assume that you have been using the terminal for 30 minutes and only allow you a further 5 minutes of use.

Printing

Printing is available for 10 cents per page and requires the purchase of a printing card for one dollar.

Connecting from outside
the law building

Most databases are available to CU affiliates from off campus. The first step to using databases from off-campus is to activate the CU VPN client on your computer. You will be prompted to do this if you need to. [why?]

Some databases are only available to law school affiliates, so you will need to visit the law library if you are not a law student or faculty/staff member. Non-law users will not be able to use these databases from outside of the law building.

A few databases need an institutional password to login - contact the Reference Desk (303-492-3522) for details.

Finally, a few databases are only available by personal password to law affiliates.
