About the Project
The Clicklaw website provides a unified point of access to the many and diverse sources of public legal education and information (PLEI) in British Columbia. Clicklaw allows end users — members of the public in BC, as well as intermediaries and educators — to search across and link into PLEI content that resides on a range of websites.
The project is sponsored by the Public Legal Education and Information Network (the PLEI Network) and funded by the Law Foundation of BC. At Courthouse Libraries BC, we're very excited to have the opportunity to lead this project on behalf of the PLEI Network.
Project Objectives
Clicklaw's high level objectives are:
- To improve access to public legal education and information: Clicklaw helps users locate and access PLEI content by providing current search and browse capabilities, enabling them to locate offerings by their choice of topic, audience, language, region, format, and so on.
- To improve the effectiveness of user access to PLEI content: By providing one-stop access to high quality PLEI content, Clicklaw helps users locate reliable, authoritative, and current PLEI resources.
- To help identify gaps in PLEI programming: Creating a unified entry point for PLEI content across BC helps expose gaps in PLEI content to specific target groups, for specific topics, and so on.
- To improve coordination among PLEI Network organizations and the broader PLEI community in BC: Creating a shared resource helps PLEI Network organizations and others in the BC PLEI community coordinate their activities and programming to a greater extent.
