Very interesting article in the Edmonton Journal today, just in case you haven't seen this elsewhere:

The Legal Resource Centre (LRC) recently launched a new blog: Blogosaurus Lex (brilliant name, almost as brilliant as Library Boy!).

The LRC is the publisher of the magazine LawNow and of the legal information website Access to Justice Network.

It was registered as a charity in 1977 and its mandate is "to contribute to, advance and promote the legal knowledge and education of the people of Canada." It is based in Edmonton, Alberta.

According to the initial post on June 22, 2009, the blog will feature:

• new happenings at the Legal Resource Centre (LRC)
• community engagement with other public legal educators and sharing new resources and activities emerging in the field
• LawNow – our magazine relating law to life
• LRC library news including interesting frequently asked questions (and their corresponding answers!) as well as new purchases for the Garvie Reading Room
• and other interesting stuff that appeals to us and that we hope might be of interest to you

Ever wonder how those "plugged in" people find out what is going on?  Connie Crosby has a great post on her blog that outlines her strategy for keeping up with what is happening in her communities of interest.  Do you have other methods for keeping up your personal continuing education or current awareness?

I thought this was a timely follow up to our recent meeting on electronic publications.  Here is a Quill & Quire blog post: "Random House in the U.S. seems convinced that the market for digital books is where the future of publishing lies...." Quill & Quire Nov. 24, 2008

FYI: 

The judges of the Supreme Court of Yukon are authorized by s. 38 of the Judicature Act, R.S.Y. 2002, c. 128, to make rules of practice and procedure in civil and criminal matters. Prior to September 15, 2008, the Rules of Court for the Supreme Court of British Columbia were in force. Effective September 15, 2008, the new Rules of Court for the Supreme Court of Yukon will be in force for all civil matters.
