2 new printer-related notices from OTS:
1. The printers in the computer lab now have double-sided printing capability. The instructions are posted on the lab doors, and there is a print-out with instructions at the library’s Information Desk.
2. Even better, students can now add printer pages online, rather than having to call OTS. Look for the “Additional Printer Pages” box on your MyUB portal page.

There is often confusion surrounding the CALI authorization code among new students. Here are a few tips and a 2 minute video that to help you and your students avoid confusion.
Please pass this on to your students:
- Before creating a new account at cali.org, find your school’s authorization code and have it handy. Contact your school’s rep at www.cali.org/contacts or just ask a librarian.
- Use your school’s authorization code just one time. During your first cali.org registration/account creation process, enter it into the box entitled “Authorization Code.” You’ll never, ever type or even have to think about your school’s CALI authorization code again after your new cali.org account is created.
- Your school’s authorization code IS NOT your cali.org username or password: You create your own username during registration. You create a unique password by following a link CALI will send you in an email immediately following the first registration step.
This may sound confusing, but take two minutes to watch the video and you should understand.
4. Once you’ve registered, use the username/password you created during registration to login at cali.org. Once registration is complete and your account is created, you use your own username and password — not your school’s authorization code, which you can officially scrub from your memory.

I wish they had aspenlawstudydesk back when I was in law school. It would have made studying a whole lot easier.

The Law Librarian Blog has a post about Washington & Lee’s new online law review submission service, LexOpus, which “assists authors and law
journals with the submissions process. The system allows an author to
submit a work to a sequence of author-selected law journals. An author
may also, or instead, invite offers from any journal by choosing to
indicate the work as open to offers. Works may be hidden from public
view if the author wishes that. Please note that LexOpus only accepts
English language works.”
