Legal Research

Free Online Resources Website

By David

If you are looking for free resources that are available on the web, including databases, lists and rankings, and multimedia, then check out the resource shelf. (http://web.resourceshelf.com/) This website is constantly updating new free material on the web. It also has a newsletter and an RSS feed if you want to get it regularly. The material is timely and useful. An example of the type of material available is the recent post  on Google Scholar E-Mail Alerts, which are now available,  for free. The Alerts are for all three of the content categories on Google scholar including  legal documents and journals. There is also a feature that allows you to create alerts each time there is a new citation to an article in which you’re interested. These alerts are available at any email address not just Gmail.  Alerts are a great way to keep current. They are available on Westlaw, Lexis and most other legal databases also. The Resource Shelf is another online tool to keep current on a number of free online legal and non-legal resources. (Post-David)
