Library Resource Sharing

To evolve as a research facility for the digital age, the Supreme Court Library is emphasizing effective use of electronic networks to expand traditional resources. This goal can be accomplished in part through formal resource sharing agreements which allow libraries to concentrate on core areas, and build a network of interdependent collections, coordinated by shared electronic catalogues and supported by high speed document delivery systems.

For purposes of resource sharing with federal libraries with law collections in the National Capital Region, the Supreme Court Library has agreed to maintain collection strengths in the following areas:

Subjects

Administrative law
Bilingualism
Canada. Supreme Court
Canada. Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Civil law
Civil procedure
Commercial law
Constitutional law
Court rules
Courts
Criminal law
Criminal procedure

Domestic relations
Human rights
Judges
Judicial process
Jurisprudence
Labour laws and legislation
Medical laws and legislation
Municipal law
Indigenous peoples-legal status, laws, etc.
Personal Property
Real Property
Torts

Jurisdictions
