Current awareness

The Tarlton Law Library at the University of Texas in Austin offers a "current awareness" service for several areas of law: copyright law, capital punishment, domestic violence, and actual innocence. Law review articles and other materials are studied by the library staff who look for pertinent articles about the selected area of law, then scan the first page of relevant articles for online viewing. The website explains that "the availability of the first page of the article should better enable readers to know if they are interested in reading the whole article."
