Law Society of Saskatchewan Legal Research Ambitiously Innovative: Your Legal Resources Update

Ambitiously Innovative: Your Legal Resources Update

August 31, 2020

By Alan Kilpatrick, Reference Librarian

While our physical Law Society library spaces will remain closed until further notice, we’re pleased to resume more regular text circulation for members.

Since Covid-19 emerged this past March, we’ve strived to boost your access to online resources and nimbly pivoted to serve you virtually.  We’re enthusiastically supporting you at full capacity.  Whatever you need, we’re here to help and add value to your work.

Print Resources

Contact us by phone or email with your text requests! Requests can be fulfilled within two days.  Materials will be set aside on contactless “curbside” pickup carts located immediately outside the Regina and Saskatoon library doors. We also ask that you return the books you’ve had out for the past six months to the drop-off carts located outside the library doors.

  • Free Webinar: Primo – Your Library Catalogue (CPD-178): To get the most out of our print resource collection, search our Primo catalogue.  Watch this free webinar, eligible for 1.0 CPD credit.

Digital Resources

You have access to one of Canada’s leading online legal resource collection. Log into the Members’ Resource Section to access an outstanding virtual law library on your desktop.  We’re encouraging members to take advantage of our online collection during this unusual time!

  • Remote Resources Video Series: Our series highlights the online resources you can access!  It’s described by SlawTips as “perfect for a time when more people than ever are working away from their office or usual workspace.”  
  • Free Webinar: Online Legal Resources in the Age of Covid-19 (CPD 282): We’re all dealing with the challenges of practicing law during this unusual time.  Don’t let legal resources add to the challenge. Watch this free webinar, eligible for 1.0 CPD credit.

Research Assistance

Contact us with your legal information questions. As your information navigators, we can find whatever you are looking for. If it takes longer than five minutes to find, ask us!
