UPDATE becomes "Land, Life & Leisure"

UPDATE, the weekly current awareness service for agricultural and other land-based periodicals, has entered a new phase of its development. Following the first three years (2002-2005) as an EDINA service, a new agreement began on 1 August. As part of a rebranding exercise, the service been given a new name - Land, Life & Leisure.

The primary purpose of the name change is to reflect the wider content of the database which now covers the subject areas of tourism and leisure, in addition to agriculture and other land-based industries. There are also some functional changes being made to the service including:

• a new interface, modelled on the successful EDINA CAB Abstracts service
• improvements to the data - records will now contain markings for peer-review articles and increased number of article authors indexed
• enhanced linking in the service to publishers, websites and other available full-text

Potential subscribers are invited to request a trial to the EDINA helpdesk, in order to assess the usefulness of the service for their institution. Subscription rates have been frozen and capped, thanks to continuing JISC subsidy.
