What is the CAIJ library catalog?

Last updated: 5 September 2025

The CAIJ Library Catalogue groups together all titles available in the cotravail libraries and online, including printed and electronic works, templates, forms and periodicals.

It also provides access to the Scott Index to Canadian Legal Periodical Literature(formerly Index to Canadian Legal Periodical Literature), which gives you access to periodical articles and case commentaries from some 100 Canadian journals.

More than 50,000 texts are listed in this alphabetical index. Many of these articles, published in Canadian law journals since 1998, are available online through HeinOnline, LegalTrac or the online doctrine. Alternatively, articles available in the cotravail library can be searched, digitized and sent online via Espace CAIJ, using the retrieval service.
