TROUBLE GETTING INTO WESTLAW?

We have had a lot of questions lately regarding how to access the Westlaw database remotely.  From the RCTC website, click on "Library" from the listing on the right of the screen.  This will bring you to the Goddard Library website.  Click on "Find Articles and More...", then "Databases by Title", just below.  Click on "W" on the alphabet bar, and this will bring you to Westlaw (second database listed).  When you click on Westlaw, you will be required to log in using your UCR ID card.  Your username is the barcode on the back of the ID and your password is your last name.  This will bring you directly into Westlaw and you may begin searching!  Please feel free to call the Reference/Information Desk at 536-5387 with any questions.
