Legal Research Intro: Begin Here

About this Guide

The Legal Resource Intro guide shows you how to find legal sources. 
  • Bookmark/Save the libguide to your computer, as you will find yourself going there often.

  • To view the libguide while searching a database, you need to split your screen.

For each window you want to view side by side, click the "restore down" button (next to the x) in the upper right hand corner.
Use your mouse to drag the corners of the screen so it takes up half of your screen.

If your keyboard doesn't have this feature, toggle between the two windows via Ctrl-Tab/Command-Tab.
