Since this week, we have access to the new platforms with improved user interfaces for the Westlaw Next Canada and La Reference (former DCL/ REJB).
One of the most important new features of the Westlaw Canada Next is the access to an electronic version of the Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation (8th edition).
All the links in the Law Subject guide and on the Law Library branch page have been updated to lead to the new platforms.
Beginning in July 2014, McGill has a new, more secure VPN server. You must go through the steps to install the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client on your computer (a one-time procedure). Thereafter, you only need to click the AnyConnect icon and sign in using your McGill Username and Password. You can then access McGill internal resources, such as departmental and personal files. You can find more about the new VPN here.
New, 8th, edition of the Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation, a.k.a. McGill Cite Guide or Red Book is published.
What’s new for the 8th edition:
At present, we have 3 copies of the new Red Book available: two on Law Library reserve and one in the Reference collection. More copies are expected to arrive by the beginning of the 2014 – 2015 school year.
The McGill Library is making important changes in the access to electronic resources.
On Wednesday, June 4, 2014, the electronic resources (e-books, e-journals, databases, open access resources) will be removed from the Classic Catalogue.
On Monday, June 9, 2014 the eResearch Gateway will be taken off-line.
In June, our link old resolver (“Find It”) will be migrated to OCLC’s WorldCat Link Resolver service.
If you have any questions regarding upcoming changes, please do not hesitate to contact any of the liaison librarians for Law.
