Law Library receives grant to buy remote access legal research database for attorneys
The Adams-Pratt Oakland County Law Library has received a grant from the Oakland County Bar Foundation to purchase a remote access subscription to the Hein Online legal research database. With the remote access subscription, attorneys will be able to use the database to conduct legal research at their office or home through the Law Library’s website.
The acquisition of the remote access subscription marks the first time the Adams-Pratt Law Library has been able to provide such a service to the legal community. “This is something that attorneys have requested for a very long time,” states Laura Mancini, Director-Library Services. “Libraries in general are able to offer remote database access to their patrons in many subject areas. The legal publishing industry has been slow to embrace this practice and currently the William S. Hein & Co., Inc. is the only company in the marketplace to provide this service to law libraries. I am tremendously grateful to Hein and the Oakland County Bar Foundation for making it possible to offer the remote service to our lawyer patrons. I encourage all attorneys to take advantage of this new tool when conducting their legal research.”
Attorneys who wish to the use the Hein Online database outside of the Law Library can access it from the Law Library’s website: http://www.oakgov.com/lawlibrary. An Adams-Pratt Oakland County Law Library card will be required to log into the database. Library cards can be obtained in person at the Law Library, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Library card applications can also be found on the Law Library’s website.
