Library users will now need to create a Papercut account to use printing and copying services at the library.
To start, email us at library@lawsociety.mb.ca for the registration link and create an account by clicking on “Register as a New User.”
Select a username and password. You will need to enter this on the Xerox machine when copying and scanning, or on the computer when sending a job to the printer.
Once you have created your account, you can login and add credit. You can pay with a PayPal account, credit card, or debit card.
Funds will automatically be deducted from your account when you print or photocopy.
If you need any help setting up an account, or you have any questions please contact the library.
Last fall Thomson Reuters migrated their accounting platform to one being used by their other international offices. Since then, customers have been having serious problems ensuring invoices are accurate and they have received what they’ve ordered.
The Vendor Liaison Committee of the Canadian Association of Law Libraries has been meeting with senior management at Thomson Reuters to ensure these concerns are addressed and fixed. If you are not a member of CALL/ACBD and are having difficulties resolving your issues, please contact me at ksawatzky@lawsociety.mb.ca and I will add your concerns to ours.
Do you practice in Ontario? OCLA has created an app for information on 47 law libraries in the province and what resources they offer. If you’re travelling to Kenora, wouldn’t you like to know when the courthouse and the library are open before you get there? Simply scan the QR code below or visit: http://oclanet.com/app.html for more information.
The Canadian Law Blog Awards, or Clawbies, have opened for 2018! What? You’re not familiar with a Clawbie? How can that be? They’ve been around for 13 years!
The Clawbies are an opportunity to celebrate law-related publications. While focussed on the written word, they also include podcasts and other forms of media. If there’s something you listen or read regularly that you think should be recognized, be sure to tweet about it with the hashtag #clawbie2018.
My legal information sources have definitely dwindled lately. Whether it’s an abundance of great content or a lack of time to absorb it, I’ve restricted myself to the tried and true this year. I love The Docket with Michael Spratt and Emilie Taman, for thoughtful opinions from the criminal defence bar (plus they make me laugh a lot). I’ve started listening to Stereo Decisis (always important to come up with a great name first!) with Robert Danay, Oliver Pulleyblank and Hilary Young. I think this qualifies as the only podcast with a regular cast from both coasts. They seem willing to talk about just about anything (witness the episode “The Beverley Bralette Edition”).
The two blogs I regularly read were both Clawbie winners last year. Legal Sourcery, from the Law Society of Saskatchewan Library, is an amazing source of ideas on everything from how to improve access to justice to what’s going on in legal news in Saskatchewan. We try to emulate their productivity but they have way more resources than we have! O’Faolain, which I suspect is an Irish word meaning something profound (or maybe profane), David Whelan’s personal blog, offers opinions on legal technology, knowledge management and planning for law libraries. Sometimes I feel like he’s a mind reader, as I’ll be thinking about a particular topic and then I’ll discover he’s just written something on it.
While I’m sticking with my old favourites, I’m sure other #clawbie2018 nominators will suggest some new titles to spruce up my stream for next year.
The Manitoba Law Library would like to acknowledge with gratitude that we are situated on Treaty One Territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree and Dakota peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation.
