Online Students Library Guide

Online students can access Lexis+ and Westlaw through unique logins they create. You will be sent codes and instructions for each service at the beginning of your time as a VLGS student.

If you need assistance logging into these services, contact Sarah Scully, Electronic Resources and Technology Librarian.

Lexis+ and Westlaw are vast databases that contain millions of documents and offer powerful search features. The library highly recommends obtaining at least some training on each service. Even a short orientation before diving in will save you a tremendous amount of time.

Each service offers training materials (note that you may need to be logged in to a service to access its training tools).

• Lexis+: Training Videos
• Westlaw: Training Videos (certification is optional)

In addition, you can reach out to our Lexis+ and Westlaw representatives, whose contact information can be found on the front page of each service.
