Common Law Library Enhancements 

Sort By Relevance

The results list of the Common Law Library returns entries relating first to the merged version, where available, followed by the non-merged version and finally by any supplement material.

If you have searched across more than one title in the Common Law Library your results will appear alphabetically by the title. With the addition of the Sort By Relevance link in the top right-hand corner of the Common Law Library results list, you now have the option to change the ranking of your results either by publication or relevance.

Index Term Differentiation

We have now made it easier to browse through any of the Indexes within the Common Law Library titles by adding a separator between each of the top level terms.

Footnotes

In order to see whether a footnote contains supplemented material an icon has been added after the footnote number within the main text. When hovering over the icon the following message will appear: This footnote contains supplemented material.

This icon also appears when the footnote box is opened, and before the footnote at the bottom of the page.

Previous Section/Next Section Links

Following the positive feedback for the functionality introduced within the Common Law Library titles we have added Previous Section/Next Section browse function to the bottom of all commentary documents.

This functionality has also been added to the Legislation documents making browsing on Westlaw UK even easier.

List of Connectors

The Terms & Connectors link on each search page has been updated to read List of Connectors. This is to remove confusion when browsing for this information.
