CD-ROM Databases

The Law Library subscribes to several databases that are exclusively available on CD-ROM format. In order to guarantee access for all patrons, these CD-ROMs have been loaded onto the three “law-pub” public access machines that are located near the reference desk with a Law Library Workstation sign.

Available CD-ROM Databases

The following CD-ROM databases are available at each of the three computers:

• Colonial and American Indian Treaties: A Collection
• Index to Law School Theses and Dissertations
• League of Wisconsin Municipalities Legal Opinions and Manuals

To access each database, click on the appropriate icon that is found on the computer’s desktop.  Each database will be updated as the Law Library receives new editions.
