When you use the Nevada Supreme Court LexisNexis Digital Library, it works like a real library with rules for checking out books. You can borrow up to 5 volumes at once, and each book can be checked out for 7 days. After 7 days, the book will be automatically returned, but you can borrow it again if it's available. If the book you want is checked out, you can place a hold to get it later, and you will be notified by email when it’s available. You can also use blue links in the e-books to jump to different sections, and green links to access related cases and statutes.

When using the Nevada Supreme Court LexisNexis Digital Library as a member of the public, ​​​​​books circulate the same way they do in a physical library with checkout limits, loan periods, and holds.

Checkout Limits

You can check out 5 VOLUMES at a time. Many legal titles have more than one volume, hence the limit on the number of volumes. 

  • For example, the Nevada Civil Practice Manual, has 2 volumes. If you check out both volumes, that counts as 2 of your 5 available checkouts.

Loan Periods

You may check out each volume for 7 DAYS. After 7 days, the volume is automatically returned --you don't need to do anything to return the book. If you still need the book, you can check it out again, if it is available.

  • The LNDL platform controls the 7-day limit. Law Library staff cannot renew these books for you. 

You may RETURN A BOOK early if you are finished.

  1. Sign in to your LNDL account.
  2. Select My Books.
  3. Look for the clock logo and select the Return link.

Holds

If the volume you want is not available, you may request to HOLD it. Placing a hold starts a queue of people waiting for the book. 

  • To place a hold, you will have to enter an email address. This is how LNDL will alert you that your hold is ready for you.
  • All highlights and annotations you make in a title checked out to you will still be there if you check out the book again. No one else can see your highlights or annotations.

Hyperlinks in the LexisNexis Digital Library

One of the benefits of an eBook is the ability to jump to another section in the book, or even another volume in a set. LexisNexis Digital Library offers this functionality through the use of blue links like you are used to seeing while surfing the Internet. Green links are usually attached to cases and statutes and direct you to Lexis which requires an account for access. Each volume provides the following color key:
