Information Sources in Law

Information Sources in Law is a book.

First Edition

The first edition was edited by Robert G Logan and published by Butterworths in 1986. It is part of the series which was then known as Butterworths Guides to Information Sources. It consists of twenty-three chapters attributed to twenty contributors.[1][2] The subject-matter of these chapters ranges from the general to the specialized.[3] A book on legal research describes Information Sources in Law as being "not as useful for present purposes" as the title promises.[4] Another described it as "good".[5] The Solicitors' Journal expected that law libraries would find Logan's book to "prove useful".[6] Information Sources in Law is "detailed" and its contributors are "leading experts".[7]

Second Edition

The second edition was edited by Jules Winterton and Elizabeth M Moys and published by Bowker-Saur in 1997. The series of which it was part is now known as Guides to Information Sources.[8] It is "completely revised".[9] It focuses on Europe,[10] and deals with more than thirty of its jurisdictions.[11]
