New Legal Literature Database now available

Index to foreign legal periodicals

The Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals, produced by The American
Association of Law Libraries, provides access to legal literature
worldwide, covering all forms of foreign (non-Anglo-American) law. This
includes comparative law and legal systems, such as Islamic law;
socialist law; public and private international law; and transnational
commercial law. The data is not limited by country of publication, but
rather type of publication. Thus, while publications concerning British
and American law are not included, British and American publications
concerning foreign law are included. Coverage begins with 1985.

In-house Librarians

What better way to introduce this service than to quote the Dean.

"I'm happy to announce a pilot project that, in combination with the appointment of Carol Neuman as Research Co-ordinator, is designed to offer additional support for your teaching and research activities.

Starting Monday 6 February, our intrepid Librarians (Chris Thomas, Communications Division, and Shauna Rutherford, Culture Division) will be holding office hours right in our Faculty. They will be in SS 307 during the following times:M 1:30 - 3:30T 9 - 11W 1:30 - 3:30R 9 - 11.

If you need help finding information, ordering the information materials you need, advice on using IR in your classes, or you are just tired of chatting with me and Mimi and need new blood on the third floor, Chris and Shauna are there to help. They have multiple talents!
Best wishes, Kath."
