[Eril-l] WestlawNext Campus Research

[Leslie Burke]

I recently got some type of survey from WestLaw Next and it asked about OpenURL linking etc.
I sent feedback in (and encourage others to do so) saying something like:
I want WestLaw Next to have article level linking (with these services – EBSCO, Summon, Primo, etc.) instead of journal level linking. I indicated my students do not want to repeat their search and that our other major vendors all provide article-level linking. I also explained that if students don’t find it easy to use (e.g. having to repeat their search) they use it less. Less usage stats leads to less chance of renewal.

Best,
Leslie

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!
