Online Subject Guides
The Alma Jordan Library offers research guides on a variety of disciplines, subjects and topics. These guides usually provide an overview of relevant resources – print and
electronic, subscribed and freely-accessible. Currently the
Guide on the United Nations System of Organizations
may be of interest. New guides are constantly being devised and published. To access the guides, refer to the
Research Guides section on the Library’s home-page.

On a final note, do consider me, the Law Librarian, as
a resource. Should you require assistance with locating
material (print or electronic) or training on the use of a
particular legal information database, please contact me
and I will do my best to assist. During the academic year I
co-ordinate / offer information literacy sessions on topics such as: how to effectively use the various legal information databases and strategies and techniques for conducting efficient legal research using print and electronic
resources. These sessions can be individual, small / large
group or related to a specific course (i.e. at the invitation / suggestion of your lecturers). Look out for e-mail
alerts, notices and sign-up sheets from me. If there is a
session that you would like to attend, but are unable to
do so due to scheduling conflicts, please also contact me.
