"Multinational Sources Compared" 2nd ed., is a finding aid designed to direct researchers to sources most likely to cover 336 legal subjects and particular jurisdictions, with a fairly comprehensive list of resources available to researchers in either print or electronic formats. To enhance the usefulness and function of this resource, the entries include data points such as jurisdictions covered. The authors used the resource itself or a publisher's description to understand and briefly summarize/describe topical and jurisdictional coverage. Jurisdictional coverage of multinational resources is ephemeral, especially with the updating that takes places on various databases. To help keep this resource current, a stand-alone, fully searchable database in HeinOnline accompanies this print work. This database will be regularly updated, allowing for the addition of new resources, for updated jurisdictions, and for adding or modifying subjects as the law progresses. This new print edition continues to consult English-language legal information publishers and sift through their product offerings, adding publishers to the review list along the way. Many legacy titles are still updated and maintained (such as 'Trademarks Throughout the World'), while others remain accessible to researchers in certain formats but are no longer updated (such as "Domain Names: Global Practice and Procedure"). Additionally, "global guides" are moving away from offering a traditional bound volume, to a flexible practitioner-written 'Q&A guide' format. Also, this edition incorporates a growing category of materials: comparative monographs, which typically feature a collection of jurisdictional essays written on a specific and focused topic. It contains nearly 60 new subject headings added as needed over the last several database updates. Other updates are designed to make the work easier to use. For example, while the first edition began the author/editor field with the first author or editor's last name, the author/editor field in the second edition has been changed to conform with Rule 15 of The Bluebook (21st ed. 2021). Other updates include conforming the different types of monographs or supplements to the descriptor 'bound volume,' and making the list of format types more consistent. Researchers will find this second edition, along with the stand-alone, fully searchable database in HeinOnline, helpful and useful"--Publisher.
