How we can improve Clicklaw, New on Clicklaw

We’ve just launched our Clicklaw Visitor Survey to find out more about the needs of Clicklaw users!

This will be our first user survey since Clicklaw went mobile-friendly – the survey will also be available to mobile users.

Visitors to clicklaw.bc.ca will be prompted by a pop-up window, which asks them to answer a short 5-question survey about their visit. Those who complete the survey will get a chance to enter a draw for a $100 Visa Gift card!

To prevent being asked to fill out the survey again on repeat visits, a cookie will be stored on the user’s computer after they have completed the survey. This cookie can be deleted or cleared by the user to view the survey again. Multiple entries will not be counted.

The draw is open to BC residents, though staff and contractors of Courthouse Libraries BC and their immediate family will not be eligible to enter.

Stay tuned for news about the survey! Subscribe to our blog on the left-hand navigation and follow us on Twitter: @Clicklaw.

BGLI coverCourthouse Libraries BC is pleased to announce that our new Clicklaw Wikibook, The Beginner’s Guide to Finding Legal Information; A how-to for legal research and representing yourself in court in British Columbia is now available online. Our news release gives detailed information about the publication.

We describe the Guide as a new resource that “helps people handle their everyday legal problems. It is particularly useful to people who are representing themselves in court in British Columbia. Written by librarians at Courthouse Libraries BC, the new Guide gives a basic introduction to understanding laws & legislation, and gives how-to instructions to find specific legal resources on a given topic.”

A copy of the Guide can be printed by using the PDF download option, or you can download it as an ePub on a mobile device.

We encourage feedback on the Guide’s content, because one of the great features of Clicklaw Wikibooks is that they can be updated so easily. Please send your comments to jfreeman@courthouselibrary.ca
