issuing agency, SuDoc number, or GPO Item number

controlled vocabulary of over 4,400 terms

references to help researchers find materials quickly and

Selective Coverage of Valuable Publications
With retrospective coverage back to 1988, LexisNexis
Government Periodicals Universe will enable you to locate more than
125,000 articles from the government’s most important periodicals.
Annually, indexing is completed for approximately 10,000 articles
from about 1,200 issues of more than 160 periodicals. Editors attempt
to identify articles of research or general interest value. Articles
of transitory interest or limited use outside the issuing agency
are generally avoided, increasing the index’s value to researchers
looking for relevant—and enduring—material.
Web Links
LexisNexis maintains a list of hyperlinks to
government periodicals indexed within the product. Links are included
for about half of the publications covered; those links are maintained
regardless of whether the publication is active or inactive due
to the enduring research value of the articles.
Timely updates
LexisNexis Government Periodicals Universe is updated
quarterly (March, June, September, and December). With each update,
the service adds bibliographic information for approximately 2,500
articles that reflect the enormous diversity of federal interests.
