The Clicklaw team conducted our first set of webinars over the last two weeks, training public librarians on how to use Clicklaw to find answers to legal questions. The feedback was fantastic:
“What an excellent resource! From now on, I will always start here when faced with legal reference questions. It’s wonderful to have so much valuable information collected in one portal with a very intuitive search interface.”
“In a lot of ways, Clicklaw makes my job easier, because the site is so user friendly, and informative. This training confirmed that there really is more than one good way to find the answer!”
“I thought the training was great. The site is very intuitive and it was nice to learn about some of the extras that I may not have investigated.”

The webinars were an hour long, and involved a short demo of the site, followed by an opportunity for participants to do realistic practice questions on their own computers and then share their findings with other participants. As a result of the training, participants reported a 40 per cent increase in their confidence in using the Internet to find legal information or assistance for themselves or their clients.
One cool element: half of the participants tuned into the webinar from home:
