Busy Person’s Guide to Current Awareness
Posted by admin on Aug 22, 2007
Is there a law review or non-legal journal you would love to read but never remember to look for the new issues? What about a topic that you would like to keep up with?
There are a multitude of online services that are willing and eager to fill this need for Widener law school faculty and students. Westlaw and Lexis have alert services that provide regular updates for almost all of the information they cover. The Bureau of National Affairs (BNA) offers e-mail delivery of their many newsletters. Commerce Clearing House (CCH) offers newsletter sign-ups on its web sites dealing with banking, securities and business law, health and human resources law, and taxation.” Non-legal journals and major newspapers can be tapped for alerts using databases such as Ebscohost, ProQuest or JStor. These services are located on the database page on the Widener Law Library web site.
For help defining an alert or getting it set up, contact a Reference librarian. You will be glad you did.
