Make the Transformation! Morph From Human Routing Machine into Current-Awareness Wizard
By Cindy Spohr
Providing the right information, at the right time, in the right format is such a challenge today. As I talk with law-librarian colleagues around the country, I have learned that this is one of the tallest hurdles you face day after day. The practice of law continues to require more news, and firm clients demand that their attorneys are always up-to-date on the latest developments on everything.
And in addition to being current, attorneys expect this information to be customized to their practice area, their clients—their interests—as well as to be delivered in their preferred format. It’s the combination of these requirements that often creates and magnifies the challenge for you.
But, as with many things, a challenge can often be viewed as an opportunity: Providing current-awareness solutions on a firm-wide basis can be an excellent opportunity for you to demonstrate the skills and knowledge that put you in charge of your organization’s information needs.
LexisNexis® can help. We can give you the tools and content to assist you with developing just the right current-awareness program for your organization. The majority of this issue of LexisNexis Information Professional Update is dedicated to providing you with information on the flexible range of LexisNexis Current Awareness Solutions. Your LexisNexis Librarian Relations Consultant also has many good ideas to share.
But, don’t take our word for it alone. Several of our Information Professional customers have agreed to share their insights on LexisNexis Current-Awareness Solutions:
