Trial e-Resources

Scholars Portal and WizFolio are pleased to offer the OCUL community a new web-based citation management application on a no-risk trial basis.

Several Canadian case law sources are no longer available via our LexisNexis subscription. They include:

• All Canada Weekly Summary & Judgments
• All Canadian Digests (multiple source file)
• Canadian Criminal Cases
• Canadian Labour Arbitration Summaries & Judgments
• Canadian Patent Reporter
• Caselaw Canada (multiple source file)
• Dominion Law Reports
• Labour Arbitration Cases
• Weekly Criminal Bulletin & Judgments

During the next two weeks, the Library will have temporary online access to these and other titles via BestCase, a Canada Law Book database. Trial access will expire on April 22, 2008. During this time, the Library will be assessing how to best provide long-term access to such sources. If you'd like to provide feedback, please contact Janice Adlington, e-Resources Librarian.

For a complete list of Canadian case law sources currently available at McMaster, please consult our How to Find Canadian Case Law guide. Print, online and trial coverage are noted.
