CLB & Lexis showdown

Posted on November 07, 2007
Make sure to catch the article in today’s Legal Post on the Canada Law Book/Lexis debacle. I wish everyone could just get along and make one giant database of everything that’s available. Obviously, that’ll never happen. Still, a law library tech can dream.
