If you want to keep track of new books in your field there are a number of options. You can set up alerts with legal publishers, legal bookshops or libraries. This part of the guide gives you a few suggestions for setting up alerts for new books.
Most libraries will publish a list of recent acquisitions on their website. For example IALS Library compiles a regular list of new acquisitions.
