Colleagues --
As an appendix to Principles of Legal Research (West Concise Hornbook
Series, forthcoming summer 2009), I recently made a topical list of
selected treatises and services. For each of 46 subjects it indicates
the LC call number range and then lists (1) multi-volume treatises, (2)
one-volume treatises and hornbooks, and (3) services. It also indicates
which titles are available in Lexis or Westlaw, with WL database IDs.
For our library, we've adapted this list to limit it to items available
to our patrons. We included our locations and call numbers, and listed
the online-only items separately at the end of each section. Anyone else
interested in adapting the list for their own library holdings is
welcome to do so. Please include a credit to the book, as we have done,
if you create a handout or website adaptation.
The full list is available here:

and the version for our library is here:
http://www.law.virginia.edu/main/Treatises+by+Subject
I'd be happy to send these files as Word documents to anyone who'd like
to use them. I'd also appreciate hearing about errors, oversights or
updates, especially before the final printed version goes to press.
