Uses and Impact of E-resources Subscribe by the Law Schools in North India : A Comparative Study

[Gautam Bahl]

Dear Mr. Bisht,

 

       First point is you want to study the impact of e-resources on what? is it schoolarly communication or something else? You have to be specific in research. You can't do a research on a broader topic.

 

         I personally feel your topic is a broader one. you will have to make it specific by limiting it. As the Bar Council of India has a statutory function of promoting legal education and laying down standards in consultation with the Universities in India and the State Bar Councils, you can include the law schools from the list availabe at their website.

 

         As there are around 900 law schools as per the Bar Council list (These include University departments, Deemed Universities, affiliated colleges etc.)  and around 70 in just only four states of J&k, Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh alone. Practically speaking you will have to take care of following two major points:

   1.  Does the libraries of all these schools subscribe to some e-resources in the field of Law?

   2.  Is it practical and convenient to survey all the institutions for your study?

 

   You will have to limit your study by selecting a homogenious group on some logical basis.

 

My advise would be that first of all go through the List of Law schools available on the site of Bar Council of India and check for the e-resources availabe with them in the field of Law.

 

Secondly do some literature survey on the articles related to your topic and on topics related to it. That will give you insight to formulate the research proposal.

 

Wish you good luck.

dear Har Singh,

There are very few e resources available in the field of law specially the journals. you can include only legal data bases in your study some of which only report case laws and there a number of law  institute where you might not even these databases. you can enlarge your study with users including memebers of bar and bench and can assess the usage of e resources by them for thier info need. there are very few jols available in consortia so i feel there is limited scope but you can enlarge your sample and work on already defined problem.

if you need any info for panjab univ law resources you can contact me at any time

good luck
