You may have been assigned a supplement or Hornbook available on the Aspen learning library. In order to access it offline, you need to download an app available on Aspen Publishing's support page through which you may download the titles relevant to your needs. Aspen also provides a support page from which you may download the app suited for your device. 

Lexis Digital Library for Lexis and Carolina Academic Press titles:

Titles from the Lexis Digital Library are available offline on your phone via the app, or they are downloaded automatically once a book is opened on a computer web browser. To toggle this feature, select "account", "download settings" and switch off Automatic Downloads. 

To access downloaded LDL books from your web browser, navigate to "My Books" then "Downloaded" and bookmark the webpage and add the url to your notes or outline. 

To access via App, you need to download it and, when prompted, provide the school code "fiu". Books are downloaded once opened in the app, but if you would like to manually download you can do so by:

1. clicking "Read" on the desired book, then
