What is
Index to Current Urban Documents (ICUD)? [ top]
ICUD is the result of a unique cooperation between Greenwood Publishing
Group and many academic and public libraries that submit their local
government documents for inclusion in the Index. If you are interested
in becoming a contributor or would like more information about Greenwood
Publishing and ICUD, please contact us.
ICUD has been published since 1972 as a quarterly publication consisting
of three paperback issues and a yearly cumulative issue. The documents
themselves have been available on archival quality microfiche. The
Index contains citations of local government and local government-related
publications. State documents that deal specifically with an eligible
city or county may be included.
Copies of the Index and the microfiche documents from volume 1 through
28 are still available. Please contact urbdocs@greenwood.com for
more information about back orders.
The Index to Current Urban Documents has moved online as a fully
searchable index with full text documents in PDF format. Currently,
the online ICUD begins with Volume 29. The Index and documents are
updated every 6-8 weeks. Subscriptions may begin at any time. A free demo is available now. Special
pricing is now available. Please review our license
agreement before proceeding.
