Legal Reference Materials Course
This course is intended for recent entrants to law librarianship and for those working in more general libraries which have legal materials. The aim of the course is to introduce participants to the structure of law and legal materials as well as to teach participants how to use the basic legal reference materials. The one day course also provides participants with practical experience. This is an ideal course for both librarians and assistants.

These courses are amongst the most popular we run - in fact so popular that we know many of you have been disappointed when applying for places to find the courses are overbooked and we can only offer a place on the waiting list for the next course. We thought a little background information on the organisation of courses might help you to understand the issues we face and perhaps prompt some of you to offer help or ideas on how we can run more courses in a wider range of geographical locations.
Please contact the Committee Chair if you'd like more details about this course.
