The Harris County Law Library is excited to announce the launch of a new public service. Beginning this week, the Law Library will offer public access to the LexisNexis Digital Library. This collection of more than 100 titles contains full-text, searchable, digital versions of many popular practice guides such as Dorsaneo’s Texas Litigation Guide, Texas Transaction Guide, Texas Criminal Practice Guide, Texas Family Law Practice & Procedure, and Moore’s Federal Practice. Also included are several popular treatises including Appleman on Insurance, Collier on Bankruptcy, and Corbin on Contracts. A full list of available titles in our Digital Collection is available here.
Sign up to access our Digital Collection on our Lexis eBook Account Request page. Once you submit the form, Law Library staff will create your personal account and email you a username and password. You will then be ready to check out any volume in the collection.
LexisNexis ebooks can be read on any internet-connected device. Use your favorite browser (Google Chrome is recommended for the best navigation experience), or read on the go by downloading the Digital Library app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. After installing the app, you will be prompted to enter a library code: harriscountylaw. Then sign in with your username and password.
If you have access to LexisAdvance (sign up here for a free public access account), you can link directly to the cases and statutes cited in the ebooks. You can also markup the text, and keep notes and highlights even after you have returned a volume to use the next time you check it out!
If you have any questions about the LexisNexis Digital Library eBook Collection, please contact our Virtual Reference Desk. For training materials and user guides, visit the LexisNexis Digital Library training page.
