In a recent post on the Law Librarian Blog titled “Westlaw Next: Pros and Cons and General Comments from Law Librarians,” Joe Hodnicki details information gathered from an (admittedly) informal survey of law librarians regarding their experience with Westlaw Next. Hodnicki, County Law Library Director with the Butler County Law Library (OH), writes: “In addition to the … less than stellar general comments, looks like the ‘Cons’ outnumber the ‘Pros’ and do so by highlighting serious search-related flaws.” Thank you to Mr. Hodnicki and all law librarians involved in the survey for your candor.
