Can you make a note in the records that indicates the limited availability? We're lucky in that our Law Library prefers to not have those kinds of things listed in our shared catalog. - Royce's favorite Anna

Well, they're already designated.as Law resources in the catalog. I wonder if we could be more explicit.... - ~Courtney F from Android

We're dealing with the same issue (law school here), and we're putting the following note on the record for Lexis and Westlaw titles: "Available to FSU College of Law community. Individual passwords required." - Elizabeth

I was just introduced to this concept yesterday, but if your institution is running Millennium, there's this thing you can do in the Serials or Cataloging module where you can suppress a bib record "centrally" (in the shared catalog) but make available "locally"--now I'm not sure what the 'local view only' means, exactly (maybe that if you're not in the law building, your internal IP recognizes that or what). This could be something to talk to a systems or e-resource librarian about. Also, definitely notes in the public record. Also, depending on the relationship with the law library, our library will grant special password-only access privileges and/or provide research help if they present a real need (sort of an on-campus ILL sort of thing...) - MontglaneChess

Ugh. (I know that's not helpful. But ugh.) - barbara fister

Elizabeth, that note could be very helpful, thanks! Unfortunately, we're on Voyager, so I don't think we can do the suppress centrally thing. - ~Courtney F

This issue does not arise here- no limitation of access to law students only. Yet, anyway. - Pete #TeamMonique

Pete, your whole campus can use Lexis and Westlaw stuff? - Meg V. Meg

Dunno how they did it, but Law School-only databases have this text in the link: "Full text available to the NAME Law School" I'm guessing most people don't read it, but it's there. There's also this text "Full text available to Law School with password" Then you go to the law school's proxy server. - $tephanie•Cog$ciLibrarian

Meg- yep. Cost of Westlaw is based on number of law students, but any student or staff member can use them. - Pete #TeamMonique

Meg, we clearly need Pete's negotiator. - ~Courtney F

I think it's pretty common here :) - Pete #TeamMonique

Wow. - Meg V. Meg

west law not in our catalogue provided separately by law school. lexis is for all though. some specialized finance databases (business school only) that draws the bulk of queries . medical lists one medical only database uptodate but most non-medical people would not know of it including to my shame myself until recently :( - aarontay from BuddyFeed
