Received by the Library
Prepared by the Central Library of the Commission from its catalogue, this covers
publications by and about the EU, including periodical articles. EU Periodicals
Several legal periodicals from the United States, such as the Fordham International Law Journal and the Boston University International Law Journal, frequently feature articles about the European Union. These are indexed on LegalTrac and in the Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals. The library carries most of them.
In addition to the US publications, the library also receives a number of
periodicals from the EU. These are located in the EU periodical stacks, on the
third floor of the Annex. Most of the EU periodicals fall into one of
three categories: statistical information, current awareness items, or bibliographic
references. There aren't any analytical, law review type publications within
this material, and unfortunately there isn't an easy to use system of indexing
available for them.
