Tips for using the Law Subject Guide
Use the tabs to find legal literature by type or jurisdiction. Most of these pages are about sources - they are annotated lists of indexes and full-text databases, print sources and other useful things. Our aim is to guide you through your options, much as we talk you through them in a class, or if you come to the desk and ask us a question.
Use the Quicklinks as shortcuts to popular databases. The quicklinks are context-sensitive, and vary from page to page.
Use the Strategies tab to find out more about legal literature as a system - helpful if you want to know where to start, or what to do next.
Use the Search... this Guide feature to keyword-search the whole Law subject guide. You'll find it under the tabs, on the right-hand side.
Just ask! The Law Library team can help you use this Guide to find the information you need. We can also help you with anything that the Guide doesn't cover. Contact us, or come and see us in the Law Library, 8th floor Richardson Building. Really, just ask. We're here to help.
Farewell to the Old Subject Guide
Neither gone nor forgotten, just getting older.
You can still find it via this link:
- Law Subject Guide (old)Free. No longer being updated but still full of useful things that haven't made it to the new guide yet.
