Here is more information on Kluwer Arbitration for those who haven't tried it yet:
Kluwer Arbitration is the most comprehensive database of international commercial arbitration primary and secondary resources. Other online services such as the ICC Dispute Resolution Library, Juris' Arbitration Law database, Westlaw International Commercial Arbitration, LexisNexis International Arbitration, Transnational Dispute Management, Investment Arbitration Reporter, and Global Arbitration Review do not have as much variety and breadth of content as Kluwer Arbitration.
Kluwer Arbitration contains international and national arbitration conventions, rules, legislation, and decisions. It also includes commentary and practice tools, as well as lists of related organizations. Kluwer Arbitration also has bilateral investment treaties (BITs).
Under the Books tab in Kluwer Arbitration, you'll find major treatises, looseleaf services, yearbooks, and books compiling guides, arbitration rules, decisions, and arbitral awards (NAFTA, ICSID, ICC, CAS, Cairo, etc.). The Books section also includes works on arbitration in foreign countries and regions such as Austria, China, France, Germany, Switzerland, Latin America, as well as works on special topics such as investment treaty arbitration.
