Using the DITA reader app and eBooks from desLibris

Library users may already be familiar with one of our online resources, the Irwin Law Collection, available through desLibris, but were you aware that those texts can be downloaded as an eBook for offline research?

The new Legal Ease guide, Using the DITA reader app and eBooks from desLibris, shows users how to install this app and use it to download content from desLibris.

For those unfamiliar with desLibris, check out our previous guide, desLibris and the Irwin Law Collection, here.

New Feature and Journals on HeinOnline

HeinOnline has added a new feature that helps users organize their most used databases and items. Users can now mark their favorite databases so they show up first on their home page.

Follow their guide here to get started.

You will need to create your own MyHein Account which is separate from your Law Society account but will stack with the Library’s access to HeinOnline. Your account will also give you the ability to bookmark, save queries, and create alerts. Find out more by reading the MyHein User Guide.

While your there, you can also check out the new journals added to HeinOnline this month. Including; Dublin Law & Politics Review, Emory Law Journal Online,  European Journal of Privacy Law & Technologies, Journal of Child Sexual Abuse, Journal of Contemporary Public Law, Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, Journal of Police Crisis Negotiations, Journal of School Violence, Police Practice and Research, and Women and Criminal Justice.

Gladue Awareness Project: Final Report

I’ve blogged previously about the Gladue Rights Research database out of Saskatchewan.

The Indigenous Law Centre at the University of Saskatchewan has now published Gladue Awareness Project: Final Report, available free via pdf download.

Funded by the Law Foundation of Ontario Access to Justice Fund, this informative report shares knowledge with respect to both the crisis of Indigenous over-incarceration in Saskatchewan and the justice system’s response.
