ELOOSELEAFS ON PROVIEW


 * WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EBOOKS AND ELOOSELEAFS ON PROVIEW?
   
   
   
   The eBooks on Proview consist of individual monographs or annually published
   books. eLooseleafs consist of the supplemented book titles organized into
   practice area collections. Updates to these supplemented titles are loaded
   automatically.
   
   eLooseleaf titles are available in all practice area verticals, including:
   - Aboriginal
   - Administrative
   - Civil Practice and Procedure
   - Constitutional
   - Construction
   - Corporate
   - Commercial
   - Criminal
   - Employment & Labour
   - Estates & Trusts
   - Evidence
   - Family Law
   - Human Resources
   - Human Rights
   - Insolvency
   - Insurance
   - Intellectual Property
   - Landlord & Tenant
   - Legal Research & Writing
   - Privacy
   - Real Estate
   - Torts


 * WHEN ELECTRONIC CUSTOMERS CANCEL THEIR SUBSCRIPTION, DO THEY STILL HAVE
   ACCESS TO THE “ELECTRONIC RELEASES” THAT THEY PAID FOR? ARE THEY ARCHIVED?
   
   
   
   No. Online-only customers who cancel will not have access to any archival
   data. eLooseleafs on Proview work best together in the print and online
   format, however online-only subscriptions are available. Many of our
   Customers continue to use both formats and enjoyed the flexibility and
   convenience of having access to both formats.


 * ARE THERE FREE TRIALS OFFERED TO NEW CUSTOMERS?
   
   
   
   No.  ProView eLooseleaf free trials are not available.


 * WITH PRINT LOOSELEAFS, CUSTOMERS ARE NOTIFIED OF A NEW RELEASE/SUPPLEMENT
   UPDATE BY RECEIVING IT ALONG WITH A PUBLISHER’S NOTE HIGHLIGHTING WHAT’S IN
   THE UPDATE. HOW ARE ONLINE ONLY SUBSCRIBERS ADVISED OR NOTIFIED OF UPDATES?
   
   
   
   Subscribers to online access who wish to continue with their print
   subscriptions will continue to receive their print releases according to the
   usual practice. They will be notified by email notification. In addition, a
   monthly email will be distributed to all eLooseleafs subscribers, which will
   contain a link that includes electronic versions of all of the most recent
   Publisher’s Notes for each publication.


 * WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TOPICAL TEXTS AND ANNOTATIONS AND ELOOSELEAFS
   ON PROVIEW?
   
   
   
   Topical Texts and Annotations on Westlaw and eLooseleafs on ProView differ in
   platform and in the ways in which they are purchased.  Topical Texts and
   Annotations are accessed on the Westlaw platform alongside all
   other Westlaw content, and eLooseleafs on ProView are accessed on ProView
   along side all other ProView content.  The functionality of the respective
   platforms applies to the content and ProView content will continue to appear
   in federated search results on Westlaw.   The eLooseleaf titles on ProView
   can be purchased individually.  The concept is that of a “virtual” library
   where subscribers can pick and choose the titles they need. Topical Texts and
   Annotations must be purchased as Topical Collections. The publication
   content is consistent between Westlaw and ProView.


 * ARE THERE LINKS TO FULL TEXT CASE LAW IN WESTLAW CANADA OR TAXNET PRO?
   
   
   
   Yes. Links to full text case law are now included and enabled for most cases
   cited in eLooseleafs commentary. This functionality enables eLooseleaf users
   to link out to full text cases in Westlaw Canada or Taxnet Pro from case
   citation links included in the eLooseleaf titles. The link out requires users
   to have an existing Westlaw Canada or Taxnet Pro subscription and an active
   session opened in either Westlaw Canada or Taxnet Pro.


 * CAN ELOOSELEAFS CAN BE SEARCHED ALL AT ONCE AND WITHOUT LOGGING INTO A
   SESSION WITHOUT A PASSWORD?
   
   
   
   No. This is not possible with eLooseleafs. A search of all titles can only be
   done once a user is logged in and only to those titles subscribed to.


 * CAN SUBSCRIBERS WITH PASSWORDS DO “ALL PRODUCTS” SEARCHES?
   
   
   
   Yes, customers may search across their entire library of subscribed titles
   from the library view of the ProView platform.


 * IS IP ADDRESS AUTHENTICATION ACCESS AVAILABLE FOR ELOOSELEAFS ON PROVIEW?
   
   
   
   Yes, Users will be able to access any eLooseleaf title from their firm or
   organization’s intranet. Users with IP address authentication will not be
   able to use the personalized features such as notes, annotations,
   highlighting, or bookmarking. However, it does allow for the administrative
   managers to very quickly allow for Proview access to their entire
   organization without having to set up individual OnePass access for every
   member of the firm.


 * WHAT IF MY FIRM HAS OPTED FOR IP AUTHENTICATION BUT CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE
   FIRM WANT TO USE THE PERSONALIZED FEATURES?
   
   
   
   A feature called IP Personalization will allow individual users in firms and
   organizations with IP address authentication to make use of the personalized
   features such as notes and highlights. This option will be the default
   setting for IPAA customers (see also next question). Each time a user logs in
   a window will open allowing that user to create a personal account on the fly
   and obtain individual OnePass access to those eLooseleaf titles to which
   their firm subscribes. (This option can be disabled at the firm level if
   desired, disabling the personalization feature). The individual OnePass
   access is necessary to access the personalized features.


 * WHAT ARE THE FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF THE IP PERSONALIZATION OPTION?
   
   
   
   Individual IP Personalization users will be able to use all of the features
   of the Proview platform including the personalized functions such as the
   Notes and Annotations, highlighting, and bookmarking. Without IP
   Personalization, users in the organization will be unable to make use of
   these personalized features. The IPP window that appears enables users to
   choose whether to enter the personalized environment or not at an individual
   level, relieving the administrative managers of this task. Each user will
   then be responsible for logging in using their OnePass credentials.


 * IS IT POSSIBLE FOR THE DEFAULT IP PERSONALIZATION OPTION TO BE “TURNED OFF”
   AT THE REQUEST OF IPAA CUSTOMERS?
   
   
   
   Yes, we can disable the IP Personalization option at the request of IPAA
   customers so that this option is not visible or accessible to their
   end-users.
   
   For more information, contact Technical Support.
   


 * WHAT TRAINING MATERIALS AND/OR USER GUIDES ARE AVAILABLE TO USERS ON
   ELOOSELEAFS ON PROVIEW?
   
   
   
   We offer print “Quick Reference Guides” together with “how to” and other
   training videos, live training sessions via webex, etc., through the CPD
   Centre. These live training sessions have been accredited by the Law Society
   of Ontario and will count towards the user’s mandatory CPD hours under the
   Ethics/Professionalism requirement.


 * WHAT DO THE ELOOSELEAFS ON PROVIEW COST?
   
   
   
   Online access to eLooseleafs on ProView is included with a print subscription
   at the subscribing location. There is no additional cost for users of
   eLooseleafs on ProView. Customers will continue to be charged for each new
   release uploaded to the eLooseleaf.


 * WILL PAGE NUMBERS BE ADDED TO ELOOSELEAF TITLES SO THAT USERS CAN PROPERLY
   CITE THE BOOKS?
   
   
   
   Looseleaf titles, whether in print or electronically (i.e. as eLooseleafs,
   WLNC, etc.) should be cited to chapter and section number/heading, and not to
   page or paragraph numbers. The reason for this is that pages frequently
   change from release to release, and in fact, page and paragraph numbers have
   never been an appropriate way of citing our looseleaf titles, even in print.
   This remains the case now that they are available electronically.

For student token access to academic ProView eBooks, please refer to the Thomson
Reuters Canada Desk Copy website.
