Busy Person’s Guide To Current Awareness
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.
