L&W Do not have the same scope of coverage as USPQ. It is narrower ________________________________ From: owner-law-lib@ucdavis.edu [mailto:owner-law-lib@ucdavis.edu] On Behalf Of Kent Olson Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2007 11:38 AM To: Peoples, Lee; law-lib@ucdavis.edu Subject: Re: Equivalent to BNA's United States Patents Quarterly (USPQ) ? Hurray! Another law school that hasn't caved to BNA's exorbitant prices! Both L & W include BNA sources in their case citations, even if access is blocked to a case that appears only in a BNA source. So you can effectively search USPQ content by including "citation(u.s.p.q.)" or "ci("u.s.p.q.")" in a case search. (At least this works now, before anyone at BNA reads this reply.) I don't know USPQ well enough to know what administrative decisions it includes, but the same approach would probably work in other databases as well.

Obviously I was thinking of combining a number of databases but any suggestions on how to most accurately search the contents of USPQ without actually purchasing it would be appreciated.
