Accessing books in an online environment 

​

The COVID-19 pandemic has radically changed the way we work, and the way we access our library resources.

​

While converting subscriptions (law reports, journals, loose-leaf services) from print to online was fairly straightforward*, "format shifting" for books has been more complicated.

​

We are seeking your feedback to understand your areas of concern - the format itself, the access model, pricing, etc.

​

Your contributions will be instrumental in shaping ALLA's submission to vendors.

​

Submissions closed.

While COVID-19 disrupts our lives, Australia's legal publishers are working hard to ensure we continue to have access to the content, services and insights we need.

​

You can find the latest information from the publishers about accessing your subscribed content, training guides and resources relevant to COVID-19.

 

 

Accessing legal resources online and training materials
