New, Terrorism Knowledge Base Quick Reference Guide and More
The TKB was a ResourceShelf ROTW last September. Jacso also reviewed the dbase a week later. Since then, several new features and additions including:
+ “Quick Reference Guide” to the Terrorism Knowledge Base (PDF)
+ New Data Source: U.S. State Department Travel Warnings and Public Announcements
+ New Data Source: “State Department Terrorist Designation Lists” with direct links to TKB information on terrorist groups and entities officially designated by the U.S. government.
+ New Content: “Over the past two months, our research team has added nearly 600 terrorism incident reports, 40 terrorist group profiles, and more than 100 terrorist leader and member profiles.”
+ Direct access from the TKB to the The International Security and Counterterrorism Reference Center (ISCTRC).
ISCTRC is an EBSCO database that is accessible (registration required, free) and permitted for personal, non-commercial use. The same is the case with Thomson’s Terrorism Reference Library and Encyclopedia of Terrorism.

Law firms are managing to improve profitability by cutting costs, boosting efficiency and making equity partnership more exclusive — but revenue per lawyer isn’t keeping pace with head count increases. Growing, it turns out, is easy. Growing profitably is what’s hard.”
