State Law Library launches redesigned Web site

By Amy Crowder and Carol Hassler

This spring, the State Law Library launched its dynamic new Web site, which makes it even easier to find Wisconsin legal resources. The Web site offers new features and a fresh, modern and highly functional new look.

The home page features popular legal topics such as divorce, foreclosure, and name change, letting people quickly find the law and the forms they need. Library Highlights promotes upcoming library CLE classes and features legal research tips. New Request a Document forms let users order copies of opinions and other library materials or request a library book be shipped to them directly. We are always ready to answer your questions; Ask a Librarian is just a click away.

For the first time, legal resources from every Wisconsin county will be conveniently available in one location. A new County Resources database offers streamlined access to county departments, forms, procedural guides, sources of legal assistance, court rules and ordinances. Users can simply choose their county or select "All Wisconsin Counties" to browse.

The new Web site of the State Law Library features a ‘Popular Legal Topics’ page

The new Web site of the State Law Library features a 'Popular Legal Topics' page

The library's acclaimed Legal Topics pages provide links to circuit court forms and guides, state and federal agencies, organizations, and state and federal law. The Web site now offers enhanced features. Each of the topics includes new information such as links to notable titles in the library's collection, on-point law review articles, and subject area journals.

We also simplified our domain name, changing it to the easy-to-remember wilawlibrary.gov. With its newly designed Web site, the library continues to serve as an outstanding resource for the state's legal community, government agencies, and to members of the public who need easy access to legal information.

The new Web site can be found at wilawlibrary.gov.
