Focus: Current sources to assist students in the BLS Animal Law course

Finding Books: Tips

  • To find books in BLS Library: search SARA catalog.  BLS researchers who plan to work off campus and do not live in a BLS residence: implement the BLS proxy server instructions for 1 web browser, then close/reopen that browser.  This will allow you to access BLS ebooks off campus.  (If you successfully implement the BLS proxy instructions, a prompt will appear requesting your BLS username/password.) 
    • Need help implementing the BLS proxy instructions?  Contact: library.lab@brooklaw.edu
    • Tip re. EBC ebooks in BLS Library's SARA catalog: First-time use of the EBC ebook platform requires BLS patrons to click: Create Account.  Subsequent use of an EBC ebook: a BLS patron will need to enter the patron's username (format: firstname.lastname@brooklaw.edu) & password.
  • BLS Library tries to provide multiple-user access to ebooks.  But sometimes vendors do not offer this purchase option or the option is expensive. 
  • To identify resources in many other libraries: search WorldCat
  • To place interlibrary loan requests for books, book chapters, articles, reports and other material: Click tab: ILL in SARA catalog and enter your BLS user name & password.
