TDNet links to ABI/Inform at journal level with no problem (through
ProQuest master links), to LexisNexis with a lot of blood, sweat and tears
but so far we remain defeated by Westlaw.

Subject: Re: Ejournal collections (was nesli e-journals)
We've got URLs in the UH OPAC (http://voyager.herts.ac.uk/) directly to
individual Westlaw journals, but they are very long and messy URLs and you
still get dumped in a screen where you have to search the journal rather
than browse, so we have to provide a help page telling users what to do
then. It's not ideal, but it's slightly better for the users than just
taking them to the front of the database.
