This guide points students to research tools and sources they can use for research assignments in MIR 823 and MIR 824.

Scholarly Literature

Scholarly literature such as books, book chapters, and journal articles can provide in-depth analyses and critiques of legal issues. They may also address implications of the law on workplace and on society, as well as making recommendations for change.

Queen's Library's search engine, Omni, can help you find scholarly literature on your topic from across all academic disciplines.

Here are some search tips that can help you locate scholarly literature on a legal topic using Omni:

  • Use keywords and short phrases that describe the specific legal topic you are researching (e.g. off duty conduct social media). 
  • To retrieve sources that address the law in a specific jurisdiction, make the jurisdiction one of your search terms. (e.g. off duty conduct canada).
  • If you need the search results to focus on the topic from a legal perspective, try including the word 'law' as a search term (e.g. addiction workplace law).
  • To narrow your search results to online resources only, use the 'Available online' search filter on the left side of the search results page.
