The Legal Information Access Centre (LIAC) is a specialist information service of the State Library of NSW. It provides access to information about the law for all the members of the community in NSW.
LIAC coordinates the 'Find Legal Answers' service, which is available in all public libraries in NSW and online. This service provides access to online legal resources such as online pamphlets, fact sheets and online legislation and case law, as well as the books in the Tool Kit and Hot Topics collections, either online or in print.
Think you know how to find legal resources? Answer these questions using LIAC resources, to go into the draw to win a prize (You only have to say how you would find information on each question - not give the answer) :
1. A customer comes in and says that he has a traffic fine that he thinks is unfair. He would like to find information on how to challenge the fine. Where would you look for this information?
2. A customer is worried about her Chinese neighbour. She wants information on domestic violence in Chinese. Where would you look for this information?
3. A customer comes in and tells you that her marriage is breaking up and she is worried about what will happen to herself and her two children. She has already found some online information, but she now wants some more detailed information. Where would you look for this information?
