Listen carefully. Can you hear it? That is the sound of a revolutionary change in Westlaw. By Fall 2010 the old Westlaw format will be replaced with the new Westlaw Next.

 

In brief this new format will offer:

One search box searching (kind of like a certain website that rhythms with Ooogle.)

Improved search results

Easier to read documents with ample white space and spacing

Kindle support, with iPhone and Blackberry support forthcoming

Meet Librarian Matt Jenks

You might see me every now and then, a face which appears in the crowd and then vanishes just as quickly. Or perhaps you detect movement out of the corner of your eye while perusing the library stacks. You turn to look and there is nothing there. Where did I go?
For I am the original behind-the-scenes Librarian, Matthew Robert Jenks, Head of Collection Management and Cataloging Librarian for Franklin Pierce Law Center. You can find my office when you are not looking for it; it is that hidden. Actually, it’s on the second floor behind Collection Management but it doesn’t look out on any public areas, though my window is on the Courtyard (furthest in on the right).
