Multinational Sources Compared: A Subject and Jurisdiction Index by Alena L. Wolotira and Sherry L. Leysen is an impressive collection of detailed bibliographic records and is based on Professor Jon Schultz’s Statutes Compared: A U.S., Canadian, Multinational Research Guide to Statutes by Subject (2nd edition, 2001) and Multinational Statutes Compared: A Research Guide to Statutes by Subject (2003). These publications gave extensive reviews of each selected resource in order to give researchers an idea of what the resource contained before trying to obtain it.

Expanded subject list

Since much has changed in legal publishing since 2003, the scope and nature of the content contained in Multinational Sources Compared: A Subject and Jurisdiction Index necessitated the change to its current title. Both the print and electronic versions contain full-text legislation, statutory citations, or other references to primary law. Subjects new to this product include Animal Law, Corporate Immigration, Freedom of Speech, Human Rights, and many more.

To create this one-of-a-kind resource, the authors consulted English-language legal information publishers and sifted through their product offerings. They checked tables of contents and publishers’ product descriptions, and also reviewed titles that were in print to compile each resource’s jurisdiction list.

New companion database

The database component of this title, which will be updated three times annually, is simple and convenient to use. The database homepage features an introduction and the option to browse the content by title, publisher, subject, or jurisdiction; the predecessor print editions by Jon Schultz are also available in HeinOnline’s image-based PDF format. Search fields provide the ability to search database records by text, title, publisher, jurisdiction, and more. The main search bar, located at the top of the page, can be used to search all print and database content simultaneously:
