Current Law Journal Content has moved to a new server. The database
now resides on a SQL Server, which will ensure a robust platform for
future growth.
HOMEPAGE
Please change any links you have from
http://law.wlu.edu/library/CLJC/index.asp to
http://lawlib.wlu.edu/CLJC/index.aspx
Note the file name change to "index.aspx".
RSS FEEDS
Those who output RSS data from CLJC will need to change their base URL
from http://law.wlu.edu/library/CLJC/index.asp to
http://lawlib.wlu.edu/CLJC/xml.aspx
Note the filename change to "xml.aspx".
For merged multiple journal RSS feeds use URLs like:
http://lawlib.wlu.edu/CLJC/xml.aspx (defaults to age=4 days and all
countries)
http://lawlib.wlu.edu/CLJC/xml.aspx?country=australia
http://lawlib.wlu.edu/CLJC/xml.aspx?country=us&age=5&id=175 (assumes
you've signed up for a journal profile in which case you'd have your own
id number)
http://lawlib.wlu.edu/CLJC/xml.aspx?age=6
In the past, static copies of just the current issue of each journal
have been kept in files such as
http://law.wlu.edu/library/databases/feeds/journals/jnl785.xml (where
the "785" is the internal CLJC identifier for the journal). These
duplicate files are no longer being produced, and anyone wanting an RSS
feed for one specific journal now needs to use a URL like:
http://lawlib.wlu.edu/CLJC/xml.aspx?mainid=785&top=1
(change the "&top=1" to e.g. "&top=2" to see the most recent 2 issues)
alternatively you can use an ISSN or a journal title to identify the
journal, such as:
http://lawlib.wlu.edu/CLJC/xml.aspx?issn=0065-1915&top=3
http://lawlib.wlu.edu/CLJC/xml.aspx?title=yale+law+journal&top=2
Also, for anyone wanting to input a complete list of individual journal
feeds there is an OPML file (a format that many feed readers will import
from) at
PROFILES
In the past, in order to limit displayed journals to your preference
list you've needed to sign-up to receive a weekly e-mail notification.
Should you wish to do so, you can now obtain a profile ID without
receiving a weekly e-mail mailing. This would be appropriate for those
wanting to read a chosen list of journal TOCs on their feed reader. It
does seem to me that anyone who looks at a feed reader every day or so
is better-off subscribing to CLJC via their feed reader.
Anyone who isn't familiar with feed readers might try the following:
go to http://www.google.com/reader/
and if you don't already have a GMail account then create one
once you've established an account you'll see an "Add Subscription"
link
click on it and add: http://lawlib.wlu.edu/CLJC/xml.aspx
If anyone sees anything that doesn't work as expected please let me know.
