WestlawNext and Lexis for Microsoft Office

If you would like to learn more about WestlawNext? and Lexis® for Microsoft® Office, these short articles may answer some questions for you. (The CRIV Sheet is a publication of the American Association of Law Libraries, so there will be some information specifically for law librarians.)

Caren Biberman interviewed Mark Schiff, Vice President of Product Marketing at Thomson Reuters regarding the WestlawNext? product. Some of the questions he answered included why they decided to create WestlawNext? and how it is different from Westlaw#0174;, what the rollout schedule is for firms, corporations, law schools and public law libraries, some idea of the pricing options, and what the future of Westlaw® will be.

Amy Eaton and Marian Parker attended a demonstration and review of Lexis® for Microsoft® Office led by Darrell Huntsman, Vice President of New Products at LexisNexis. The article focuses on the product and what you can do with this "add-in application", but also includes an idea of the timeline for the first release.
