OCLA Web App

If you travel through the province, OCLA has created a one stop shop to get the information you need before going to the courthouse.

The Ontario Courthouse Libraries Association (OCLA) rolled out their new mobile-device-friendly site on November 30, 2018. The new website is designed to be a lawyer-centric portal to the County and District Law Libraries in the province. We've packaged the individual law library profiles into one convenient site, offering an easy-to-digest overview of the information, and services being offered. Some of the features include:

•Highly visible quick link icons to contact information, location-based mapping, weather, and Association websites.
•Quick catalogue access to diverse resources, directly from the home page.
•A persistent header with a drop-down menu for easy navigation by Association or city.
•Find information about hours, access, electronic resources, parking, robing rooms, lounge facilities, value added extras, and more.

MMP - Sync a Folder to Google Drive

After a portable hard drive failure this summer (the dreaded whirl and click) relying on a piece of hardware wasn't going to cut it. Dropbox, Box, OneDrive are some of the cloud choices I use to store my docs and pictures but I decided to start syncing my most important Windows folder to Google Drive. First things first, download Google's Backup and Sync.

The next screen will show that Desktop, Documents and Pictures are the default folders that will sync to Google Drive. Here' the important part, click on Choose Folder and pick a folder to sync.

In Step 3, uncheck the Sync My Drive to this computer. This will prevent the folder to sync back down to your PC - remember you're using this as a backup. Investing in another portable hard drive was still something I had to do, but having that safety net in place was ace!
