[Eril-l] WestlawNext Campus Research

[Beth Johns]

We too, are finding that WestLaw Next is a problem. We had issues with Campus Research as well when we first enabled it in our AtoZ (we use AtoZ with LinkSource - EBSCO). 

Has anyone found another database that might cover similar material (or possibly even less, but quality material)? Something other than LexisNexis, which may be too costly for us at this time.

We ended up cancelling Campus Research, in part because it didn’t support journal or article level linking.

Hello 


My institution subscribes to WestlawNext Campus Research. We recently discovered that none of the links to this database work in our A-Z journal portal (we use Serial Solutions). 





According to Thomson Reutrers, Westlaw Classic Campus Research supports Open URL Journal Level Linking (Database Level Linking) by providing database lists to software vendors. WestlawNext Campus Research does not support this service. So in other words, it is not possible to link to individual titles in WestlawNext Campus Research. 





Thomson Reutrers suggested that we revert back to the classic interface since this version supports journal level linking. The problem with this "solution" is that the classic interface is supposed to be retired in a few months. 





I'm curious to know if any other institutions have noticed this problem and if so, how are you linking to titles in this database. 





Thank you!
