[Yulpub] New source added to LexisNexis Academic

[Suzanne Lorimer]

New Academic Source – SITE Institute

After 9/11, when it became apparent that the terrorists had participated in 
discussions of their plans on the Internet, the SITE Institute 
(<http://www.siteinstitute.org/>www.siteinstitute.org) ramped up its 
coverage of terrorist websites, message boards, and other types of online 
forums that it then translates into English for governments across the 
globe. Now available as a source on LexisNexis® Academic, subscribers can 
access SITE Institute translations of official communiqués of terrorist 
groups who are taking credit for or threatening attacks, translated 
transcripts of top terrorist leaders’ audio and video messages, 
descriptions of terrorist videos, and other terrorist propaganda.

SITE Institute was recently profiled in The New Yorker magazine, see the 
article by visiting 
<http://cisweb.lexis-nexis.com/sourceselect/returnToSearch.asp?csisrc=237442>http://cisweb.lexis-nexis.com/sourceselect/returnToSearch.asp?csisrc=237442 
and searching for ‘Rita Katz.’ Accept the default search field (Headline, 
Lead Paragraph(s), and Terms), and the default date (Previous six 
months).  The SITE materials are used by researchers across the globe, 
including government personnel who rely on the timely translations to keep 
them updated on possible terrorist activities.  SITE is accessible on 
LexisNexis Academic on the Search Path: Guided News | World News | Middle 
East/Africa Sources. Researchers will find great value in the information 
from SITE now available through LexisNexis Academic. For timely coverage of 
war news and terrorism, SITE is considered a necessary resource and 
continues to be cited by leading publications, including the New York Times 
on June 9, 2006, in a front page article regarding the death of Al-Qaeda's 
chief in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
