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.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?


Click to view the article Alacra Compliance adds managerial oversight
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

Alacra Compliance saves time by aggregating information from both free and fee-based sources and enabling users to conduct an accurate federated search across these sources (coined “simultaneous search” by Alacra).
