Calgary, AB: Canadian Research Institute for Law and the Family.http://hdl.handle.net/1880/107485In 2013, Clicklaw, a public legal education website operated by Courthouse Libraries BC, added JP Boyd on Family Law to its collection of on- and off-line wikibooks. Wikibooks are websites built on the MediaWiki platform, an open-source application that powers websites such as Wikipedia and Scholarpedia. Wikibooks are agile, highly adaptable websites typically used to present large amounts of information from multiple authors in a digestible, easily accessible manner. Unlike most MediaWiki websites that allow any user to adjust content, Clicklaw wikibooks use a unique content development model in which potential contributors are screened by the Clicklaw Wikibooks team before being given editorial privileges. The wikibook JP Boyd on Family Law contains more than 120 webpages of substantive legal information, about 500 definitions of common legal words and phrases, links to hundreds of key government and non-government resources, and more than 100 downloadable forms for the British Columbia Supreme and Provincial Courts. In print format, the wikibook exceeds 650 pages. Anecdotal information suggests that the wikibook has been very well received by the bar, the bench and the general public.enreport10.11575/PRISM/32666
