Quick Report from AALL

Hi, I was out at the law librarian's conference in Portland. Here's a quick update:

Westlaw has some new interfaces:

tax.westlaw.com for (big surprise) tax. It allows for a global search that organizes top hits by category.

compliance.westlaw.com for compliance information in a number of areas.

citeadvisor.westlaw.com - no kidding, it's suppose to help you get your Bluebook citations correct.

Other websites:

heinonline.org - added a "my heinonline" feature so individual users can customize bookmarks.

http://icyte.com - in beta, this is a research management software. Highlight the part of the document you like and it saves the document with the highlighting. You can annotate your entry in the database.

http://lexisweb.com/ - free legally oriented search engine from Lexis.

Here's the flower (yellow, red & blue) I painted so West would donate money to the Arbor Foundation. I know, don't quit the day job!
