Getting to Know the Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals

DipLawMatic Dialogues, the blog published by the Foreign, Comparative, and International Law Special Interest Group of the American Association of Law Libraries, has a post today called Getting to Know the Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals.

This is a happy coincidence since I was playing round in that very same IFLP index earlier today.

It has been around since 1960 and is now available on the HeinOnline platform.

Today's post is intended to be the first in a series to make this valuable resource more well-known by explaining its breadth and scope, providing examples on how to use the index and highlighting unique features.

One interesting idea:

"We also encourage you to submit examples of how you have used IFLP for research, ideas on how others can promote usage of the Index, and ideas or examples of how to teach patrons to search the Index.  To this end, we will be adding a form to the IFLP website where you can submit your suggestions and comments."
