^ All of the required documents to file in Provincial Court (Small Claims) can be found on the Alberta Courts Website. The rules regarding when a landlord is entitled to keep a security deposit are found within the Residential Tenancies Act, RSA 2000, available online through Alberta Queen's Printer or Canlii.org. The Canlii version is probably more user friendly to find what you need.

Shouldn't be any significant need or benefit to going to the law library for something like this... If you do go there, the librarians can be extremely helpful to find stuff that will assist you but you can't expect them to explain the law as they are librarians, not lawyers. If you ask them to help you find texts or case law regarding security deposits for residential tenancies, they'll probably walk you right to the book(s) you need. If you ask them how to sue for your damage deposit, they won't be much help.
