Lawyers and judges need assistance in ensuring

addressing the
underlying principles of specific issues benefits not only the
parties and
families involved in matters, but the development of law on
these issues.
Justice Veit shared her own research challenges in family
law matters, and
provided insights on how library personnel can best assist
clients with research
in this area.

Electronic Subscriptions I:
This is the first of two sessions related to electronic publications
(Internet subscriptions, CD-ROMs, electronic books, etc.).
Points of discussion included:
*licensing issues
*IP vs. username and password access
*the decision to replace specific sections of a printed text with
electronic-only access
*when is it appropriate to convert a standard text to an electronic
version (i.e. do users want to or have time to learn how to use an
electronic version of a favourite printed text)?
*the need to develop a way for libraries to "lend" a electronic copy
of a text to any one of their users, just as they lend printed texts
(some publishers have set a very limited number of users and want
those users' e-mail addresses in advance so they can issue user
names and passwords)
*different viewing software used (i.e. Folio bound views,
VitalSource, etc.)
*the need for training, tutorials, and quick reference guides
Specific questions derived from this session will be forwarded to
the four core publishers as well as the Queen's Printer.
Representatives from those organizations will attend the Electronic
Subscriptions II session on November 18 to address these questions.
