We’ve recently made some tweaks to the Clicklaw topics as a result of the usability testing we conducted over the summer. More improvements resulting from the usability testing will be coming in 2010.

 Here’s a quick summary of the updates to the topics:

• “Victims & crime” is being split into two different topics: Victims of crime, and Crimes & offences
• “Immigrants” is being expanded to Immigrants & refugees
• We’re adding a new topic: Cars & getting around

As a result of these small changes to the topics, some of the resources on Clicklaw may be temporarily affected. For the rest of this week only, if you use the above topics to search for resources, you may not get completely accurate results. The Clicklaw team is updating all of the resources affected by this. Our goal is to have all of the resources updated by the end of the week, so hopefully this will cause as little disruption as possible.

You can find the new taxonomy posted on the Clicklaw Blog under the PLEI Taxonomy tab.
