I would like to invite members of EUROTALK who have an interest in legal
skills resources to look at the Lawpaths project.
http://library.kent.ac.uk/library/lawpaths.
Lawpaths is a JISC-funded project to share legal information skills
resources produced by law librarians and teachers, to negotiate with
publishers to provide training materials to our specifications, and to
create learning object which can be customised to local needs. It contains
two main elements, a Resources Database and a User Community. These are in
prorotype form at presents, and will be developed to form the Lawopaths
service.
Lawpaths is entering its final phase, and we have launched the User
Community to share resources and ideas and to take Lawpaths beyond its
project term. The project will depend on input and feedback from its users,
who are seen to be principally (but not exclusively) from the academic
sector. The User Community site is empty at the moment, but we are keen to
get ideas for development from you, and we have set up a JISCmail list
called LAWPATHS-MAIL which will be used for discussion and the sharing of
ideas on
the project. You will find joining details on the Lawpaths User Community
pages.
The Lawpaths Resources Database contains legal information skills resources
and is in prototype form at the moment. We will be interested to have your
comments and links to any good resources we may have missed.
We hope that members of Eurotalkwill join the User Community and the
Lawpaths-mail discussion list.
You can find further details of the project on the project site and here:
