The collection includes records from the print PAIS Bulletin 1977 and forward as well as PAIS print Foreign Language Index published 1972-1990, at which time it merged with the PAIS Bulletin. PAIS International database contains continually updated records for over half a million journal articles, books, government documents, statistical directories, grey literature, research reports, conference papers, web content, and more. Newspapers and newsletters are not indexed.
