In addition to a new and streamlined format, we now have 2 ways for users to view the ever-growing Tobacco Documents Bibliography:
1) The Tobacco Documents Bibliography page on the UCSF Library Web Site now has a section titled "Newly Added" - this eliminates the need for scrolling through the bibliography to find recent additions.
2) The Tobacco Documents Bibliography is now also available through RefShare - a feature of RefWorks which allows sharing of references online. Once in the bibliography database, users can export selected references, sort by a variety of fields, print references, create a bibliography of selected papers, and subscribe to an RSS feed of additions to the Tobacco Documents Bibliography - this means anytime we add new references you will automatically be notified and sent those citations (up to 20). (You do not need to have a subscription to RefWorks to access this shared bibliography.) The bibliography on RefShare is at: http://www.refworks.com/refshare/?site=044531177916400000/RWWS6A586201/TobaccoDocumentsBibliography

Today, January 8th, we added a total of 78,380 new documents to the Legacy Tobacco Documents Library. The bulk of the new additions are records of British American Tobacco (BAT) and Philip Morris documents that were withheld from public view under claims of privilege - known in LTDL as "privileged documents". With privileged documents, there is no document image but there is an index record with detailed information about the document.
The breakdown of new documents is as follows:
70,527 BAT privileged document records 7,794 Philip Morris privileged document records 59 RJ Reynolds documents
To find these additions, search for documents added to the site on Jan 8, 2009 = ddu:20090108
