Emphasis will be placed on the following aspects of the resources for research:
* an overview of its official web site, Europa (http://europa.eu/);
* other electronic resources such as unofficial databases and relevant academic and intergovernmental or NGO web sites;
* its external relations;
* sources pertaining to recent and continuing debates on enlargement and about changes of a “constitutional” nature;
* sources of updated information by way of blogs, news feeds, and press releases.

Mr. Alford’s guide is intended to aid infrequent users of EU materials in locating sources of its law and official documents. This article was first published in the Winter 2005 issue of the Law Library Journal [97 Law Library Journal 49 (Winter 2005)].

In legal research, particularly in international and comparative law, it is often necessary to trace working documents, or “travaux préparatoires,” in order to get a clear view of how negotiations have affected the original draft of a document.

This eJournal distributes working and accepted paper abstracts related to European Union law. Coverage includes the constitutional law of the European Union, EU competition law and other forms of economic regulation, EU administrative law, and economic, political, sociological and philosophical analysis of the European Union.

EurActiv has an original business model, based on five elements (corporate sponsoring, EurActor membership, advertising, EU projects, and content syndication). It is well funded and the content usage is free.

The EurActiv web portal is firmly established as the favourite online platform for Brussels and national professionals in EU policies. It brings together journalistic independence with transparency and practical efficiency, complementing the existing EU media and institutional websites.
