New Database of Online Publications

The British and Irish Association of Law Librarians (BIALL) has put together a database called Legal Online Resources Database (LORD) from the major legal publishers on their site at at www.biall.org.uk.

The database is available on the site without charge, and is designed to answer questions like:

• What resources are available on employment law?

• Where can I get access to the Law Reports Online?

• What are the latest online resources that Lexis-Nexis and Sweet & Maxwell have published?

The register entries are directly input by both the publishers and a team of law librarians. The content is at the moment concentrating on UK and Irish legal resources, but may possibly extend further in the future. Any publisher can contact the development team to apply for access. The database is still being developed but to date has well over 500 resources listed.

BIALL members are being asked to provide reviews for the resources that they take in their organisations; this additional resource will just be made available to members.
