Wilson Debuts Legal Periodical
& Books Full Text Database
By Karen Graham
The H.W. Wilson Company has announced the debut of Index to Legal Periodicals & Books Full Text, a new WilsonWeb database based on the classic reference Index to Legal Periodicals & Books. Index to Legal Periodicals & Books Full Text delivers articles cover to cover from some 180 select sources in full text and PDF page images, in addition to detailed indexing of some 840 periodicals and some 1,400 monographs annually. The online database features more than 15,000 full-text records (articles as far back as 1994), with new entries being added in daily updates. Index records reach as far back as 1981.
Users will find international coverage of legal journals, law reviews, yearbooks and bar associations, university and government publications, including sources from the U.S., Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Index to Legal Periodicals & Books Full Text also offers options for accessing articles that aren't reflected in full text. A library holdings indicator, linking to the library's OPAC, lets users know if they'll find cited articles on the library's shelves. If an article is not there, WilsonLink allows users to select citations on Wilson- Web databases and link to the full text of articles on any OpenURL compliant database in the library's collection at no added cost to subscriptions. Users will also find built-in document delivery links to aid in ordering actual articles and links to interlibrary loan options. Special pricing is available until March 24.
Subscriptions to the precursor to Index to Legal Periodicals & Books Full Text, Index to Legal Periodicals & Books, are still available on WilsonWeb, WilsonDisc and in print.
Trial subscriptions to Index to Legal Periodicals & Books Full Text are available. Find out more at www.hwwilson.com or contact BCR's Karen Graham (kgraham@bcr.org).
