RESEARCH INTO LEGAL INFORMATION SOURCES CONCERNING DISCRIMINATION

Abstract

This project’s objective was to elaborate effective searching strategies, so as to select adequate citations to form a bibliography on discrimination of AIDS affected people in the workplace. This paper presents the results of an analysis of the indexation terms and the structure of the information sources, both, printed
and electronic, mostly used within the legal system in Argentina. The process involved a comparative analysis of each source’s treatment of the referred subject,
regarding structure and indexation terms. The results allowed some working hypotheses that led to specific searches regarding doctrine, legislation and
jurisprudence. The effectiveness of analyzing the legal nomenclature of the different repertories, in order to adjust the searching strategies to such terms,
was confirmed by the study’s results. It made possible to retrieve, in the shortest amount of time, the most pertinent information on the required subject.
