How to Use an Online Book

Quick-Start Guide

See the Online Books Quick-Start Guide for basic information about what is included and how to search and browse for books and within books.

Citing a Chapter

The CITE link on each chapter page allows you to quickly cite our online book chapters. When you click the link, a window will appear with text that you can select and copy.

The citation format has been adapted from the citation style for online resources as outlined in The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation.

“Current to” Date

The Current to date on each book and chapter reflects its currency. ICLE monitors changes in the existing law on an ongoing basis and adds any changes to the online books within two weeks of their occurrence. If a major new development requires significant revision of a chapter that will require more than two weeks to implement, that fact will be noted in the text and the summary of changes.

What's New

Click on WHAT'S NEW on a book contents or chapter page to see a summary of changes made to the online book during the last 12 months. Look for the What's New in this Section link at the beginning of chapter sections to indicate a change has occurred in the section. Click the link to view a summary of that change. Note that What's New will appear with a chapter or section only if a change has been made to it during the past 12 months.

Printing a Chapter

ICLE's online books include a print friendly option for each chapter. This feature allows you to print any chapter in your book without the images at the top and side of ICLE's website. Click the PRINT link in a chapter.
