The Cardiff Index to Legal Abbreviations is always my first port of call if I come across an unfamiliar abbreviation and need to know what it stands for.
Today sees a few changes to the Index. The interface has been updated, and in my opinion improved. The site also now works well with mobile devices, so you can find out crucial source information wherever you are.

Looking for trustworthy web sites? Try Intute.
Intute, in its own words is a:
"free online service providing access to the very best web resources for education and research. All material is evaluated and selected by a network of subject specialists to create the Intute database."
The project started life in 1993, and I've been using it for a number of years to look for web sites on a variety of topics. It's reassuring to know that there is an element of quality control, with resources being looked at before being included on the web site.
It is possible to search across all academic disciplines, or just for law resources (select Law from the Browse menu on the front page). The Advanced Search option is particularly useful if you wish to limit your search by Resource Type, so you can specify that you just search Government Publications or Practice Guidelines for example.
If you're reading this and already use Intute, you may like to fill out their user survey which is running throughout March. It's only a page long, and gives you the chance to win a £50 Amazon voucher.
