New Database: Campus Research

The Connecticut Digital Library (ICONN) is discontinuing access to LexisNexis Academic July 1 and replacing it with Thopmson's Campus Research. Campus Research is a comprehensive collection of news, business and law-related information for students--organized and packaged with timesaving tools and an easy-to-use interface. It offers full-text information on a wide range of academic disciplines – information that can't easily be found on the Internet or any other readily available source. Remember to try it out on July 1 and frequently after that.

You Get:
Thousands of news databases arranged geographically and topically
Hundreds of newspapers, newswires, magazines, and broadcast transcripts
Business, trade, and professional journals such as Financial Times and New England Journal of Medicine
More than 800 law reviews and journals, including Harvard Law Review and Yale Law Journal
Federal and state caselaw, including cases from the U.S. Supreme Court
The full text of the United States Code Annotated (USCA) and Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)

Instruction on use of the database is available for anyone in the Goodwin community.
