- NCJRS Abstracts Database The National Criminal Justice Reference Service Document Database contains more than 140,000 abstracts of works published from the early 1970's to the present covering such topics as corrections, courts, drugs and crime, law enforcement, juvenile justice, crime statistics, and victims of crime. The truncation symbol is the $ (dollar sign), and the search engine understands Boolean logical operators [and, or, ( ), and not] see NCJRS Document Database help for more searching tips. In addition to the NCJRS Abstracts, a great reference tool, the online full-text of most NCJRS agency documents published since 1995 are available at the Justice Information Center homepage.

The machine-readable database repository at the University of Wisconsin Data and Program Library Service is now on open to all. Founded in 1966, the DPLS has provided access to machine-readable data files for the social science community of the UW-Madison campus. The DPLS library is a member of the ICPSR (Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research) and is the repository on the Madison campus for ICPSR data files. [See also, ICPSR, above.] The University of Wisconson DPLS collection crosses all social science disciplinary boundries, and has primary source data that should interest almost any social science faculty or graduate student.
