LexisNexis Goes Mobile With New iPhone App

Last week was a busy one for new mobile resources from some of the big names in the info industry. On Tuesday, we posted overviews of new mobile products from EBSCOhost and Summon (Serials Solutions). In fact, we included a link that allows you to try the Summon Mobile product on your mobile web browser (it will also work on a non-mobile browser). You can't get to the actual content (unless you have a password) but you're able to get an idea of how a search and results works and looks.

Today, Peter Scott informs us via a post by Mike Mintz on the Martindale.com Blog, that LexisNexis now has an iPhone app.

The App is free and has a name, “Get Cases and Shepardize."

So what do you think it can do? (-:

According to the blog post you're able to:

+ Find and review a case instantly by reading the Case Brief – an overview of the issues, rules, and reasoning (written by LexisNexis experts) just by entering its citation.
+ Get an at-a-glance indication of how closely they need to evaluate the case with Shepard’s Signal Indicators.
+ Get an overview of a case’s legal treatment up front by viewing the Shepard’s Summary, right at the top of your Shepard’s reports.

If you have iTunes on your computer, this link will take you directly to the LN App.

Btw, this is not the first time LN has offered tools for the mobile researcher. This news release from October, 2004 talks about offering services for Blackberry users. In 2005, the service won a CODIE Award for Best Mobile Content Service. According to the web site, LN Content on the Blackberry is still available.
