Databases by subject

Top ten user tags [what's that?]

 
About tags

Tags allow you, the user, to make a little note about a database. You may have used tags on other web sites, like Flickr or del.icio.us, to categorize your photographs or your bookmarks.

You can use the shared tags on the library databases page to mark databases by subject, for a class or just make a list of your personal favorites.

Tags are a feature we're testing - a "beta" feature - so some tags may disappear, especially if they are inappropriate.

Note that subjects are different than tags and only librarians can create the subject groupings listed just above the top tags list. If you'd like to see a subject grouping that we don't have, let us know - or better yet, build it using tags and send us the tag!

To get to a list of tagged entries, you have a few options: go to an entry you've already tagged and click on the tag, or look for your tag in the popular tags list in the left column, or go to the url http://wiselawlibrary.org/databases.php?tag=[your tag here].

 

Connecting from outside
the law building

Most databases are available to CU affiliates from off campus. The first step to using databases from off-campus is to activate the CU VPN client on your computer. You will be prompted to do this if you need to. [why?]

Some databases are only available to law school affiliates, so you will need to visit the law library if you are not a law student or faculty/staff member. Non-law users will not be able to use these databases from outside of the law building.

A few databases need an institutional password to login - contact the Reference Desk (303-492-3522) for details.

Finally, a few databases are only available by personal password to law affiliates.
