Launch of New Courthouse Libraries BC Website

A few of us here at my place of work have been looking at the new and improved website of the Courthouse Libraries BC which was launched last Friday.

Among the features that have caught my eye are:

• The Stream, their new blog
• Practice portals with recommended books and resources, new publications and news related to specific areas of law
• a great list of research resources including guides, video tutorials, proclamations, news and an "Asked and Answered" knowledgebase of legal research questions
• a catalogue using Aquabrowser technology. Aquabrowser offers relevancy ranked search results and automatic spelling variations. Other features include a visual word cloud of related terms generated with each search and the ability to narrow results quickly and easily with one click of the mouse

Courthouse Libraries BC serves the public and legal community of British Columbia through libraries across the province.
