In the award for "Legal Journal of the Year, 2001" which I recently received from
the British and Irish Association of Law Librarians
(BIALL), they were kind enough to say..
"Delia Venables has filled an emergent niche with a newsletter making an
appropriate use of the dual media of printed and web with links to the sites".
You will always find the address of the web version of the Newsletter on the
front of the printed version, in the left hand column - all subscribers are
welcome to use this!
I now offer a complete range of training materials - a Beginners Guide and
two sets of Advanced Studies. Each course involves printed material as well as
online sessions, using a passworded area of my website. You do these in your own time.
Each course can be purchased either in a single user version or in the
multiple user/intranet version, allowing everyone in the organisation to take
the course and obtain the CPD from the Law Society or the Bar Council. Very low
cost CPD - and good fun too!
Price is £50 plus VAT for the single user licence and £100 plus VAT for the
Intranet/Multiple User version i.e. anyone in the organisation can use the material and
obtain the CPD hours.
If you have direct web access, there is information about the Guide and Tutorials
here.
Five Internet Studies for experienced Internet users exploring topics with legal
relevance. The Studies cover:
The Studies qualify for 5 CPD hours from the Law Society for England & Wales
under the "Distance Learning" category, i.e. the work can be done in your own time.
The Bar Council also accepts the Studies for 5 CPD hours.
Cost is £40 plus VAT for an individual licence or £100 plus VAT for an Intranet/Multiple Use
licence, i.e. anyone in the organisation can use the material and obtain the CPD hours.
The Studies qualify for 5 CPD hours from the Law Society for England & Wales
under the "Distance Learning" category, i.e. the work can be done in your own time.
The Bar Council also accepts the Studies for 5 CPD hours.
You can take the two sets of Advanced Studies in either order - they cover different topics.
Cost is £40 plus VAT for an individual licence or £100 plus VAT for an Intranet/Multiple Use
licence, i.e. anyone in the organisation can use the material and obtain the CPD hours.
Usually, each set costs £40 plus £7
VAT but, if you buy both sets together, the total cost
will be only £60 plus £10.50 VAT. For the Intranet/Multiple Use licence for these
products, both sets together will cost £150 plus VAT instead of £100 each.
This course Qualifies for 5 CPD hours from the Law Society of England & Wales - not
from the Bar Council since the material only covers solicitors' firms
Please note that this course will have a short shelf life - newly published in March 2002,
it will probably be withdrawn at the end of the year.
Cost is £40 plus VAT for an individual licence or £100 plus VAT for an Intranet/Multiple Use licence, i.e. anyone in the
organisation can use the material and obtain the CPD hours.
