Editorial
Welcome to our 2nd issue of 2010 and after the excitement of last month?s Westlaw Next announcement things are a little quieter in February.. but not that much quieter.
Only..
LN & Microsoft Office link up
i Pad launch
The Death of PreCYdent
Five years ago the above would have accounted for 3 months worth ofdevelopments but in 2010 we seem to be in hyper drive to see if we can try and catch up with the stalled or lost revenues from the past 12 months
Talking of new product. Do take a look at the article in our legal publishing section. Published by the Legal Research & Writing pro blog (USA), it is the first analysis that we have seen in the public sphere that discusses how Westlaw intend to price WestlawNext
The post is entitled
Article ? Legal Research & Writing Pro: My WestlawNext Upgrade Negotiations: Proof that West Isn?t Interested in the Solo Market
They write?
A few weeks ago, I wrote about my preview of West?s new search product, WestlawNext. At the end of the post, I said that I?d like to upgrade, but I know I don?t want additional content within my subscription plan. I promised to report back on my negotiations with my account rep. This is my report.
Also in our legal publishing section do take a moment to see what Wired magazine in the US are doing now that the i pad has been launched. In their developments HOB sees the kernels of the future of legal publishing.
Best wishes
Sean Hocking
