Westlaw UK

There are textbooks and lots of excellent reference books on the Westlaw platform.  There is a link to the 369 books on the home page or under the drop down menu to the right of the Westlaw Edge logo:

To access Westlaw UK, you will need to login through your library account. To do so, go to the library homepage and select databases.

You can search databases by subject or by name. Searching by subject will give you the full list of legal databases available through your library account. Select ‘Law’ from the subject list. You can then see all legal databases or select just the key ones.

The links from here will take you directly to the required databases where you will have to log in with your GUID. There are more tips for using legal databases on the library website: https://www.gla.ac.uk/myglasgow/library/
