Current Law Journal Content

Hats off to Washington & Lee Law School for their fantastic resource, Current Law Journal Content. CLJC provides summary views and feeds for the content of over 1220 law journals, sets up searches for individual articles across relevant web resources and links to full content where available. (Of course, full content is free for only a few; typically most content links are to the publishers’ subscription services or to LexisNexis or Westlaw.)

The database is built from scanned copies of journal contents pages supplied by the University of Texas Tarlton Law Library (694), Washington & Lee itself (93) and other libraries (44), and additional contents pages received electronically via e-mail, websites or RSS feeds (389).

Navigation is not for the faint-hearted. Law librarians and information professionals will love it, but I suspect less experienced users will feel at sea. To browse the summaries, select UK from the country drop-down and then click the alpha letters. The full list of UK law journals totals 149.

You can set up a personal profile to view the summaries that interest you and you can also configure RSS feeds or iframes to deliver them to your reader or website. For example, RSS feed of UK law journal issues published in the last 30 days.

Thanks to Slaw for the link.
