Bloomberg Law Available for USD Law Students, Faculty and Staff

The Law Library has recently added a subscription to Bloomberg Law. Because Bloomberg has also acquired BNA publications, you may now access BNA via Bloomberg Law. The Law Library staff hopes to receive publications, which outline the registration process. However, you do not have to wait for print instructions. You can register now: 1. Go to http://www.bloomberglaw.com 2. Click the "Request a Law School Account" button 3. Complete the information form (listing your USD email account) and click the submit button. Once you have submitted the information, you will get a message that you will be contacted in 24-48 hours. In reality you should get an email with your password within a few minutes. Once you have your password, you may sign in and begin using the system. If you have questions about using the system, please feel free to ask a librarian for assistance. Because Bloomberg has only recently entered the academic market, the company has a limited number of trainers. However, we hope to be able to schedule a Bloomberg representative to provide training soon. Additionally, the law librarians will be providing some training on use of Bloomberg to 1Ls in the Fundamental Legal Skills course and as requested by 2L and 3L students.
