If Clicklaw is like Google + the law in BC, Clicklaw Wikibooks is the Wikipedia counterpart. They resemble Wikipedia because they use the same platform. They can only be updated by pre-approved lawyers and other writers (not just anyone can go in and change something). This means the content can be kept very current.

== Clicklaw Wikibooks ==
[link to clicklaw wikibooks about page?]
Clicklaw Wikibooks are collaboratively developed, plain language legal publications that are published online and can be easily printed.
They resemble Wikipedia because they use the same platform. They can only be updated by pre-approved lawyers and other writers (not just anyone can go in and change something). This means the content can be kept very current.
Easy to search content
Single digital source is a more efficient way of producing multiple formats - one source for the digital/online version, pdf, book on demand and ebook formats. As the information on the wikiplatform changes, the pdf/ebook  versions are automatically updated every 2 hours, so you’re getting the most current version. Makes it easy to have multiple formats from a single digital source.
