Guide to Research and Citation for CJCA Editors

Highlights and links to key databases, provides guides on various legal topics like citation, and the easiest way to find contact information.

Access to high-quality resources from 18 Ontario university libraries, including Queen's. Contains books, ebooks, journal articles, government documents, theses, and more from all disciplines, including law.

You can request materials from other Ontario university libraries directly in Omni. Physical items can be requested and delivered to Queen’s University Library for pickup. Articles and book chapters can be requested and delivered to your Queen's University email.

But remember, lots of legal materials are not indexed in Omni, but you still have access. For example, if you search an article title in Omni and it doesn't come up, try searching the journal title instead. Also, much of what is contained in databases like Westlaw Edge Canada, Lexis Advance Quicklaw, and Kluwer Arbitration will not come up in Omni - you need to search within the database itself.

When materials are not available at Queen's or at its partner libraries through Omni, you can place an interlibrary loan request. You will need the barcode on your student card in order to do so.
