Resource of the Month
March 2007
Each month WSU Libraries' Department of Collection Development features
a "Resource of the Month" designed to highlight some of the library's new, interesting,
under-used, large, unique, or otherwise noteworthy collections and
resources. You can learn more about the "Resource of the Month" on
this website, from the display in the reference area, by attending a
workshop (if available), or by contacting the Reference Desk at
978-3584.

Why Should
I Use Campus Research?
Campus Research combines breadth of
news and business information with superior depth in law-related
information. It has experts' analysis from hundreds of law
reviews and journals, encyclopedias and treatises as well as full-text
legislation, regulations and court decisions.
Campus Research provides several
research helpers. Key Numbers classifies points of law logically
and consistently across all U.S. Jurisdictions which simplifies
searching. Using this Key Number system, KeySearch aids in
building a precise query. KeyCite® traces
the history of a case, statute, administrative decision, or regulation
and verifies whether or not it is still good law. StatutesPlus
links to everything that discusses a particular statute.
