Make the Connection: From CCH to IntelliConnect

Recent users of the CCH Business & Finance Library, Medicare and Medicaid Guide, and Tax Research Network may have noticed a message prompting them to register with a new database called IntelliConnect.

On August 17, IntelliConnect will replace all prior CCH databases, combining the various topical libraries into one comprehensive research system. You can already get a head start on using IntelliConnect by setting up your username and password in order to access the new system. The site offers a number of Flash tutorials for first-time users (although these will not pop up automatically after the second login, they are always accessible from the ā€œHelp/Getting Startedā€ link on the left-hand column).

IntelliConnect offers the ability to search content across the various topical libraries, or to browse available content by type (such as ā€œnewsā€ or ā€œtreatisesā€). The search box allows you to limit your search words to ā€œcitationsā€, making it easy to quickly retrieve cites such as IRS Revenue Rulings and SEC releases. (The ā€œCitationsā€ tool on the QuickBar also offers fill-in-the-blank forms for a wide variety of citation types.)

The Goodson Law Libraryā€™s subscription to IntelliConnect includes access to content in the following Practice Areas:
  • Business Compliance
  • CCH Wall Street
  • Health Care
  • Legal Professionals
  • Tax & Accounting
Note that registration to IntelliConnect is available to all current Duke University students, faculty and staff; however, users connecting from off-campus must access the database via a proxy link on the library webpage, even after registered with a username and password. Off-campus users will need to authenticate with a Duke NetID and password before logging into the system; attempts to access IntelliConnectā€™s direct URL from off-campus will result in an error message. You can access the proxy link to IntelliConnect (http://library.duke.edu/metasearch/db/id/DUK03667) via the Law Libraryā€™s Legal Databases & Links page, or via the Duke University Libraries A-Z database list.
