We constantly monitor the water fountains in Williams.
For your convenience we have two working water fountains on every floor. There is a water fountain in the Reading Room on the Computer Lab side of the room.
Because of the construction of the building two of the Library's water fountain may be indefinitely out of service. The fountain near the Rare Books Reading Room does not work. The fountain by the first floor bath room will have erratic water pressure
Please do report any problems with the other water fountains in the Williams Building.
Can't Access Westlaw?
Nov 26
We've had reports of students not being able to access Westlaw through the Law School Portal.
One work-around is to use the general sign-on page at www.westlaw.com.
- If you're used to using your customized username and password instead of the official Westlaw password, just look for phrase "switch to sign on using your own username and password" for a link.
- You need to enter something into the Client Code box, but it doesn't matter what you enter.
