Back in January I wrote a Tip at the (then) newly launched Slaw Tips blog titled <a href="http://tips.slaw.ca/2011/research/monitoring-a-case-law-subject-with-canlii">Monitoring a case law subject with CanLII</a>.  There were a lot of great comments on the tip.  I also heard that CanLII was working on a built in solution to subject Query RSS feeds.

I am extremely pleased to pass on the news that <a href="http://www.canlii.org/en/blog/index.php?/archives/52-Major-Improvements-to-Search-Tools.html">CanLII has made some improvements to their search tools</a> this week and Subject Query RSS feeds is one of them.

Way to go CanLII.  Hat tip to <a href="http://twitter.com/stevematthews">Steve Matthews</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/Hannasus">Susannah Tredwell</a> for tweeting this.

Along with faster results rendering CanLII has also added the ability to more specifically target your hit results based on the query. 

Thank you to CanLII for the innovations and for the fabulous example of what a well organized and reasonably funded free access to the law movement can do in 10 short years.

Website user-generated content: avoiding the pitfalls
McCarthy Tétrault
With the availability and popularity of Web 2.0 functionality, corporations are increasingly encouraging their website visitors to participate in the overall web experience by uploading user-generated content (UGC).

It is very interesting in light of the Wiki session and ?participation? that is happening right now within the ELLA Group.  To peak at the 'playing and testing' wiki that we set up in the May 12 wikis for loaw libraries session, visit http://ellatest.pbwiki.com/
