What is the Law Library's Single Sign-On (SSO) service?
And what do I do if I cannot access databases through SSO?
Answer
For current Georgetown University Law Center students (i.e., enrolled in classes), staff and faculty, off-campus access to most of the Law Library's licensed databases and online resources is through Shibboleth SSO service which will ask for your university NetID and Password. A few of the Law Library's databases, such as Westlaw, Lexis, Bloomberg Law, etc., are accessed through individually assigned accounts.
Single sign-on may be followed with the university's DUO Authentication service.
- If you are a currently enrolled Georgetown Law student and cannot access our databases through SSO, then please contact Law Library Access Services at lawcirc@georgetown.edu, or 202-662-9131.
- For issues regarding individually assigned accounts that are not accessed through SSO, such as Westlaw, Lexis and Bloomberg Law, please contact Law Library Reference Services (lawlibref@georgetown.edu).
- If you graduated from Georgetown Law, please see the Alumni Resources guide for resources and services available to you.
