Legal Research Using Brand New iPad Specific App for WestlawNext from Thomson Reuters

From the Announcement:

Thomson Reuters has optimized its new legal research system, WestlawNext, specifically for iPad users. The iPad offers exciting capabilities for the lawyer on the go – greater portability than a laptop and a large, high-resolution Multi-Touch display that makes it far more functional for legal research than a smartphone. The new iPad app is available at the App Store free of charge to all current subscribers of WestlawNext.

Just like WestlawNext and WestlawNext Mobile, the intuitive design of the WestlawNext iPad app makes it easy to navigate the comprehensive content and use the most advanced legal research features, including WestSearch – the proprietary search engine that leverages over 100 years of editorial assets to provide more inclusive, better-ranked results. “When we talk with lawyers, most say they wouldn’t do more than five minutes of research on their smartphone,” said Andy Martens, senior vice president of New Product Development for Thomson Reuters, Legal. “The iPad is a device where we can see attorneys comfortably doing an hour or more of comprehensive research.”

According to Jarvis, research shows that attorneys are using the BlackBerry, the iPhone, Android devices, the Kindle, and now the iPad in growing numbers. “Our approach is to make sure customers can access what they need on any Web-enabled device,” he said.

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?
