Ballad in Plain E

I had a call from Mike Pasta at Quickscribe a couple of weeks ago. He called to get us set up with our free trial of Quickscribe Online, a legislation service similar to QP Legaleze, and gave me a very thorough tour of the system. It contains all BC stats and regs, and a “growing list of federal legislation” as well.

I’ve used it a few times since then, and I have to say, it’s very good. Where Quickscribe really stands out is its RSS feeds. You can subscribe to feeds for all stats & regs, topical groups, or create a feed of selected titles. Items in the feed tell you exactly what’s been added, amended, or repealed, and when you click on the “view change” link next to each item, it takes you to exactly where the change was, and shows you in an easy-to-read, colour-coded layout, exactly how the text reads now, and what it looked like before the change. Score!

Another great feature is the Point in Time archive that you can access with one click.

Mike tells me that they are updating the service daily, so with its visually appealing design and excellent RSS feeds, I think I’ll be making more and more use of this.
