Top tips for teaching academics using Law Trove

Research shows that, as with textbook recommendations, law students rely on the same level of recommendation when using textbooks in an alternative format. Students get more out of Law Trove if they are given direction, and it is integrated in teaching materials.

Remember your campus representative is on hand to provide teaching team training sessions, as well as full training to students.

Integration with your university logon

Access is available through IP range, Athens or Shibboleth.

Linking to Law Trove from your reading list

You can hyperlink your reading list to take students directly to the correct book, or even chapter, in Law Trove. We recommend that you use a digital object identifier (DOI), as this will act as a permanent URL for that content online.

The book's or chapter’s DOI is located with the bibliographic information at the top of the page. Your campus representative can help you set up links.

Plagiarism

Turnitin is the leading plagiarism prevention service. Law Trove is Turnitin compatible.

Self-testing and checking progress

Students can test their understanding of a subject by accessing multiple-choice questions with instant feedback. It’s not assessed and is done in private, but they can then tell you where they are struggling. Look in the related links box at the end of each book or chapter and refer your students to it.

Engaging with case law through Essential Cases

Exclusive to Law Trove, this resource has been welcomed by academics. Essential Cases provide succinct summaries of some of the landmark and most influential cases in the core subject areas. Each summary begins with a review of the main case facts and decision and is concluded with author commentary including their assessment of the wider questions raised by the decision. Each case is linked to the full case judgment.

Wider reading

Where further reading is listed there is an option to find the resource “in your library”. Metadata about the bibliographic reference is passed to the catalogue via an OpenURL resolver, and the relevant results from the library are shown (e.g. print/online, and whether available to borrow or out on loan).

Your librarian may need to change the URL preferences to activate this feature.
