What is Index to Current Urban Documents (ICUD)? [Top]
ICUD contains over 27,000 reports generated by local government agencies, civic organizations, academic and research organizations, public libraries, and metropolitan and regional planning agencies from more than 500 major cities in the United States and Canada. The core of the collection are fiscal (budgets and financial reports) and architecture & planning documents (city, county and regional plans). The Index also provides information for all urban-related issues, from hazardous waste disposal to arts in the community.
Since 1972, ICUD is the result of a unique cooperation between ILM Corporation, state and municipal governments, academic and public libraries who submit local government documents for inclusion in the Index. If you are interested in becoming a contributor or would like more information about ILM Corporation and ICUD, please contact us.
The ICUD is 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 weekly. Subscriptions may begin at any time. A free demo is available for you to evaluate the ICUD. Please review our license agreement before proceeding.
