Adding resources not available in digital form

If you want to add a resource to Clicklaw that is not available in digital form, there are two ways to create an image for the Clicklaw thumbnail:

  • scan the item (for example, the front cover of a book), or
  • take a digital photo of the item.

You can then use an image editing tool to open the image and prepare it to upload to Clicklaw.
