Ten Years of Coverage Added to Index to Legal Periodicals Retrospective

 

New York, New York, January 19th, 2005
With the addition of ten years more retrospective coverage in Spring 2006, Index to Legal Periodicals Retrospective will allow users to search periodicals as far back as 1908, H.W. Wilson today announced. Based on the classic print reference Index to Legal Periodicals & Books, this is the space-saving online equivalent of 38 ILP print cumulations. The database makes more than 70 years of periodicals research readily available for educators, students, law professionals and others, with cover-to-cover indexing of publications 1908 through 1981.

Index to Legal Periodicals Retrospective covers over 750 noted publications from the U.S., Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. Cover-to-cover indexing includes book reviews and case citations. In addition to periodicals, annual surveys of the laws of a jurisdiction, annual surveys of the federal courts, yearbooks, and annual reviews of the work in a given field are also indexed.

Subject terms (which may have changed over the years) and personal and corporate names have been standardized, ensuring retrieval of all records on a given subject. Original subject headings have been retained as "Historical Subjects"—preserving the full value of the data as a historical source, and providing insight into the way issues of the day were framed. Both current and historical headings are searchable.

Seamless links to full-text articles on a subscriber's other open-URL compliant databases (including HeinOnline), plus library holdings messages and document-delivery links make finding the actual articles easy. Index to Legal Periodicals Retrospective can also be searched simultaneously with the contemporary periodicals database Index to Legal Periodicals Full Text, for a century of law research at a keystroke.

Index to Legal Periodicals Retrospective is available exclusively on WilsonWeb. Free 30-day trials are available to libraries.
