The study aids collection goes well beyond the topics covered in 1L required courses. Two ways to explore what's offered by the Law Library:
If you haven't used these platforms before, check the access/registration details (under Subscription Info) before trying the links below to explore each provider's offerings.
Aspen Learning Library: select format (eBooks, Videos, or Audio) and use the "Filter by" pulldown menu to select a topic (e.g., "Administrative Law"); or try Advanced Search for terms or features (such as "keyed to Chemerinsky" for a study aid specifically designed around Chemerinsky's casebook) and/or select a Category (same topics as "Filter by").
CALI: From "Lessons" pulldown menu, choose "Subject Outlines" and select a course subject to see a topical outline with links to relevant content (lessons, podcasts, etc.); or look for a link the index listing (e.g., "Business Associations Index") to see an alphabetical (by title) list of available lessons.
LexisNexis Digital Library: search for terms (e.g., "criminal procedure") and then look under "Filter" for "Content Type" and select "Study Aid" to see if there are Understanding series or Q&A series titles for your topic.
Quimbee (do not set up free trial!): Under "Study Aids" select the type/format and a topic. "Casebooks" and "Case Briefs" both produce lists of available case summaries (the list under "Casebooks" will be case summaries keyed to the Casebook/edition you selected); "Courses" are sequenced collections of lecture videos, with comprehension quizzes; "Outlines," "Multiple choice questions," "Flashcards," and "Essay practice exams" are also offered for all 1L courses and a variety of upper level topics.
West Academic Study Aids: search for terms (e.g., "federal jurisdiction") and then consider applying "Filter Results" (e.g., by "Type" for "Exam Prep" or "Multiple Choice" formats, or by "Series" if you have a particular series in mind like Nutshells or Acing); or you can pull down the menus for 1L subjects and 2L/3L subjects to browse general categories.
On the Law Library Catalog's simple search, enter a general topic or course name (e.g., antitrust ... "environmental law" ... "intellectual property" ... trademark .... etc.). This will retrieve a lot of books and other materials held at the Law Library!
A long list of filters appears on the left side of the result list, starting with "Publication Type." Scroll down to the very end of the filters where there is a filter category for "Genre" and look for "Study guides" (you may have to click on "Show more" under that category to find the Study guides filter) and check the box.
There may be other filters that help you select a study aid (e.g., under Location, click "World Wide Web" if you want to see only online materials, or "Reserve Collection" to see if we have the most recent edition in print in the Reserve Collection).
