Professional Responsibility Research Guide

Finding Books on Professional Responsibility in the Library

Materials in the Widener University Libraries are classed according to the Library of Congress classification schedule.  When performing a subject search in the online library catalog (https://widener.locate.ebsco.com/), use the subject headings "Professional Ethics" and "Legal Ethics" to find materials in the Widener libraries on Professional Responsibility. 

You can also perform a keyword search using the words “Professional Responsibility” or "Ethics". A keyword search is a broader search and you will likely receive more hits than if you performed a subject specific search.

You can also search using Ebsco Discovery Search (https://research.ebsco.com/c/btjlrm/search) to find journal articles &  ebooks on "Professional Responsibility."

In addition to searching the catalog, you can also physically browse the library shelves in the call number range KF 299- KF 318.

A list of specific titles can be found in the "Secondary Sources" section of this guide.

Some of the databases linked in this Guide are subscription databases. Access to these subscription databases is available to current Widener students, faculty and staff only. Access is available to these individuals on the Widener campus and remotely from off campus.

Lexis & Westlaw - all Widener JD, MJ and LMM students have an individual Lexis & Westlaw password. If you have trouble with your password please contact Lexis or Westlaw.

Other databases - When using other databases off campus you may be prompted for your Widener logon- this is the same username and password you use to access your Widener email.

Obtaining Books and Articles through InterLibrary Loan

 If none of the Widener libraries owns the book or article you need, you may request it through Interlibrary loan.  ILLiad is the Interlibrary loan service used by Widener.  Please note that you must register for ILLiad before you can request materials through InterLibrary Loan.  To register, click on the Interlibrary Loan link listed under the “Library Services” section on the Library’s homepage.

Next, click on Interlibrary Loan Form, you will be prompted to fill out a "Change Personal Information" form   If you are a registered user of ILLiad and already logged into your email - you will automatically be logged into ILLiad. Your username and password are the same as you would use for your Widener email. 

Once you have registered, fill in as much of the request form as possible. The more information you provide, the better.
 

All photocopies will be delivered electronically. You will be notified via your Widener e-mail account with a link to your article which will be in .pdf format.

All interlibrary loan items, except copied articles, must be returned to the Circulation Desk by the due date.
