Law students and faculty should be aware that the EBL e-books database available from the Law Library's Research Databases and Resources page will be unavailable on Wednesday, July 1 from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
ProQuest will be performing a significant upgrade to its systems infrastructure in preparation for a new user platform.
We apologize for any inconvenience. When the new platform launches, we will announce it here on the Prairie Law Blog and will update our E-Books LibGuide with instructions on how to use the new interface.

New Books Display and Summer Reading
With long summer days, road trips, and (hopefully!) a chance for a little bit of down time, now is the perfect time to pick up a new book from the Law Library.
The Law Library has recently acquired many new titles and we have rotated them into our new books display on the main level of the Law Library. We are also featuring displays on both the main level and the lower level which include titles recommended by the Law School faculty as summer reading for incoming students (but the titles will undoubtedly be of interest to upper-class students as well!)
If you are able to visit the Law Library over the summer, please take a moment to visit these displays and check out any title that interests you. Almost all of the books on the displays may be loaned for four weeks by law students, and can also be renewed.
Not able to stop by and see us this summer? Don't forget about our e-books collection! All the titles are available for download to law students and faculty for 7-day loans to your computer, tablet or e-reader. Find the e-books database from our Research Databases & Resources link under Online Research on the Law Library's website (log-in with your USD network username and password).
With over 6000 titles, there's sure to be something that interests you. While also serving as a valuable research resource, the e-books collection includes some lighter reading fare, including biographies, true stories, and insider accounts, all with a legal twist. Try search terms such as: biography, true story, or "behind the scenes."
Some books that piqued the staff's interest for summer reading:
You Be the Judge : 20 True Crimes and Cases to Solve / by Judge Norbert Ehrenfreund
Six Women of Salem : The Untold Story of the Accused and Their Accusers in the Salem Witch Trials / by Marilynne K. Roach
Full Circle : A True Story of Murder, Lies, and Vindication / by Gloria Killian and Sandra Kobrin
Dangerous Odds : My Secret Life Inside an Illegal Billion Dollar Sports Betting Operation / by Marisa Lankester
