Canadian Association of Law Libraries March 11, 2013 Webinar on Integrating Private Knowledge and Public Legal Information

The Canadian Association of Law Libraries (CALL) will host a webinar entitled Tastier When Mixed: Integrating Private Knowledge and Public Legal Information on March 11, 2013 from, 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. EDT [scroll down to the last item in the webinar list].

The speaker will be Ivan Mokanov, Executive Director at Lexum and Chief Editor from 2003 to 2009 at the Canadian Legal Information Institute (CanLII):

"Librarians are often at the intersection of their organization’s private knowledge and the public legal information available out there. The session will explore how those two types of information can be integrated in order to leverage their value."

"Practical illustrations will include:

• Using publicly available citators to structure private knowledge
• Including public resources in private enterprise search tools
• Crawling the public resources to bring back relevant information
• Current awareness tools"

"The practical illustrations will show how to achieve those goals through the use of APIs (Application programming interfaces)."

The webinar costs only $45.20 for members and $67.80 for non-members. A recording will be available to registered participants. There is an online registration form on the CALL website.
