Q. 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 GULC students (i.e., enrolled in classes), staff and faculty, off-campus access to most of our licensed databases and online resources is through Shibboleth SSO service which asks for your university NetID and Password. A few of our 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 student and cannot access our databases through SSO, then please contact Access Services (lawcirc@georgetown.edu).
- For issues regarding individually assigned accounts that are not accessed through SSO, such as Westlaw, Lexis and Bloomberg Law, please contact Reference Services (lawlibref@georgetown.edu).
- If you graduated from GULC, please see our Alumni Resources guide for resources and services available to you.
