LawMatters At Your Local Public Library Report Added to Clicklaw

LawMatters At Your Local Public Library: A Report For Public Librarians was added to the Reform & Research category of Clicklaw this week. The LawMatters program helps public libraries in British Columbia enhance their legal information collections and provides training for public library staff. The report summarizes the activities of the LawMatters project from 2007 to 2009, and discusses future priorities of the ongoing LawMatters program of Courthouse Libraries BC.

The report includes results from two legal reference surveys undertaken by public library staff as well as evaluations of legal reference training sessions conducted across the province and online.

Clicklaw Featured in Webinar

Last week, as part of the Just a Click Away initiative, the Clicklaw website and CLEONet were featured in a one-hour webinar hosted by Courthouse Libraries BC. The webinar was part of a series looking at seven different website models being used in regions across Canada (and one from the States) to deliver public legal education and information.

If you didn’t get the chance to participate in the webinar, you can still see what was covered. The webinar recording and supporting materials are now posted on the webinars page on the Just a Click Away project website. Registration is still open for the remaining two webinars, and best of all, they’re free!
