I am co-ordinating an effort on the part of Canadian Academic Law Libraries to provide free document delivery/ILL of Canadian legal materials to academic and courthouse law libraries. We believe that this may take some of the load off American academic law libraries which will have to absorb most of the requests for American and International legal materials. Until everything is completely in place, please ask those law libraries in a position to make requests to send them to <lawill@unb.ca> or phone 506-458-7978 (Lorraine Bateman). If we are unable to supply the items requested we will forward the requests to Canadian libraries that can, as quickly as possible.
We will prefer electronic delivery for one time use wherever possible, then fax, and when necessary and possible, by post.
I will also post a note to CALL-L requesting that, where possible, libraries hold their duplicates for possible contribution to a re-building effort at a future time.
