Where Have You Gone, Tarlton Law Library? A Nation Turns its Lonely Eyes to You

For years, the Tarlton Law Library has quietly, thanklessly performed a valuable service: posting, each day, the table of contents of all its newly received law journals, domestic and foreign, in a fairly neat presentation.  The site is here.  Every now and then the site seems to go dark, and I begin to break into a cold sweat, wondering whether I'm about to lose a vital resource and valuable part of my procrastination scholarly routine.  And for the past couple of days, when I click on the links for the contents, I have gotten the ominous message, "The page you are looking for could not be found." 

I don't know whether we have any readers chez Tarlton, but if so, please tell me it's a momentary lapse!  Losing this service would be like losing a trusted friend.  I'm happy to post on SSRN and track new papers released there, and it's great to have access to legal scholarship without waiting out the long publication process, but Tarlton's law review contents page still performs a useful service.  Not every paper is released on SSRN, and some that are may go overlooked the first time around.  Also, it's useful to know when a journal has published a symposium, tribute, book review, or other special content that might not be revealed through SSRN.  Then, of course, it's useful to know what's being published in Canadian, English, and other foreign law journals, whose writers are less likely to post their work on SSRN.  And, even in an electronic world, it's just nice to know what the journals are actually publishing. 

Come back, little Tarlton!  If it's a question of money, just turn Joe Jamail upside down and shake him a few times; I'm sure a few more bucks can be dislodged.
