Electronic Resources

Indexes and Databases

The library subscribes to a wide range of online databases and indexes covering many legal and non-legal subject areas. All of these resources are available throughout the law school building without using a password. These resources are also available off-campus. For remote access, you will need to enter your last name and your UALR T number at the prompt. If you have any questions about using any of these resources, please contact your liaison.

Many other non-legal electronic resources are available through the UALR Ottenheimer Library. Access these resources via Ottenheimer’s website on the Articles & Databases page. To obtain access to Ottenheimer Library resources, you must have a UALR ID card, available at UALR’s Donaghey Student Center. Your liaison can assist you in the use of these resources.
