LLMC
(Law Library Microform Consortium) |
LLMC
(Law Library Microform Consortium), for many years the publisher
of the largest microform collection of legal and government documents
in the United States, provides collections that include both historical
and current legal literature and government documents. Since the
inception of LLMC Digital, LLMC has been in the process of digitizing
its print collection. This means that resources formerly available
primarily in microform are now accessible in a convenient, searchable,
online format. While some of these resources may be available
on Lexis or Westlaw, many of them are available nowhere else online.
LLMC
anticipates it will take several more years to complete the ongoing
conversion process. At present, through its subscription to LLMC
Digital, the O’Quinn Law Library has available online all of the
LLMC digital collection which includes the United States Federal
Government collection and documents from the legislative, executive
and judicial branches. For example, from the Legislative Branch
we have access to the United States Statutes at Large, the Biographical
Directory of the U.S. Congress, 1774-1989, and Women in Congress,
1917-1990. From the Executive Branch, we can now access online
a range of decisions from various Cabinet Departments, like Agriculture
and the Labor Department, and Inaugural Addresses of the Presidents,
1789-1949. For the Judiciary, LLMC makes available United States
Supreme Court opinions, as well as a searchable version of The
Manual for Complex Litigation. Further available to augment our
collections are older state reporters and American Indian tribal
constitutions and charters. New titles are converted digitally
daily, so visit the website for the most current information.
Patrons
can access the LLMC Digital Database through the library's web
site at http://www.law.uh.edu/libraries/
by selecting LLMC Digital from the drop down menu under legal
databases.
Please
contact the library if you have any questions about any of the
library's databases.
