Legislative Research – Page 3 – Know How, the blog of the Great Library

Finding Ontario Orders in Council

Last year, we shared a blog post highlighting the sources and tools for finding current and historical federal orders in council – but what about Ontario? This blog post, together with a previous post – Finding Ontario OICs– will provide a checklist for where to look when searching for Ontario Orders in Council. A task that often leaves researchers empty-handed.

Introducing: Regulations Research Refresher!

You asked, we listened! Following the success of the Great Library’s annual Legislative Research Refreshers (now accredited), the librarians developed another instructional session focusing on how to research regulations.

Online Legislative Research Refreshers (now, accredited!)

Join us for a 1-hour group tutorial where one of our law librarians will go through the fundamentals of legislative research including an overview of the legislative process (focusing on Ontario and Federal), effective time-saving tools, and a live demonstration of common legislative research tasks like:

tracing the amendment history of a statute
searching Hansard online
discovering legislative intent

We will also review the use of print and online sources such as e-Laws, Justice Laws, and HeinOnline.

This program contains 1 Professionalism Hour.

Zoom details will be sent prior to your scheduled Zoom session. We hope to ‘see’ you there!
