The following databases are IP authenticated. This means that you do not have to provide a user ID and password as long as you are either on-campus or connected to our VPN prior to accessing the materials.
The following databases are password protected and are only available to UNT Dallas College of Law students and faculty. These vendors are very protective of their information and do not allow user IDs and passwords to be shared. You should never login someone else or provide your user ID and password to anyone, including employers. WestlawNext is restricted to academic use only (do not use it at a paid job). LexisNexis and Bloomberg allow you to utilize their products during law school for academic work and employment, but still have the sharing restrictions above.
There are additional databases available to law students for free or at low cost. The Law Library does not guarantee that it will provide technical support for these services, but it may offer training and/or instruction when time and interest permits.
