LIBRARIAN TO LIBRARIAN . . . A Special Message
Regarding Hurricane Katrina…
Dear Colleagues:
Hurricane Katrina devastated
families and homes, and destroyed or disrupted many business
operations. It is heartbreaking, and LexisNexis and its employees
offer their sympathies to all those affected.
We know our thoughts and prayers
alone won’t rebuild homes or restore business operations, so in
addition to company efforts to raise funds and send volunteers to
assist, LexisNexis also has established a variety of
hurricane-relief programs for our legal customers.
One of the biggest challenges
during an ongoing crisis such as this is gaining access to accurate,
up-to-the minute news. To help meet this need, LexisNexis has
expanded its free online news site (LexisNexis U.S. Politics & World
News) to include in-depth coverage of all aspects of this event and
the ongoing remediation efforts. Visit
http://www.lexisnexis.com/news/ to get the latest Katrina news
from more than 4,000 U.S. and international news sources.
I’m telling you about our efforts
here because the law librarian network is so strong. We all know
librarian and legal industry colleagues whose firms, law schools,
courts, agencies and corporations have been affected.
Below is a summary to help
familiarize you with LexisNexis Hurricane Relief programs. If your
organization has been affected by this storm, please take advantage
of these programs. If not affected, please feel free to reach out to
colleagues who are and let them know how we can help.

discretion to individual members in need and to other
bar associations in the affected regions.

seen a large influx of students from Tulane and Loyola. LexisNexis
has provided new IDs so that these students can assimilate into the
new curriculum as quickly as possible.
LexisNexis is providing other
assistance to law students affected by the hurricane, including FREE
course books to all displaced students. LexisNexis will also provide
free copies of relevant titles from the LexisNexis® Understanding
Series and Q & A Series to all displaced students. Affected students
should contact their local LexisNexis representative for more
information.

2) LexisNexis Enters Exclusive Alliance with
the National Institute for Trial Advocacy
Together, LexisNexis and the National Institute
for Trial Advocacy (NITA) will provide cutting-edge practical
education to attorneys and law students who attend NITA trial
advocacy programs and use NITA materials.
About the National
Institute for Trial Advocacy
Founded in 1971, NITA, a non-profit educational organization, is
internationally recognized for producing the finest trial advocacy
training programs and materials for attorneys and law school
students.
NITA’s programs are taught by a faculty of more
than 700 professors, judges and leading law firm litigators who
excel in training and mentoring attorneys in trial and other
advocacy skills.
In fact, over the past 33 years, NITA has trained
more than 80,000 attorneys through in-house programs, dedicated
public service programming, and international outreach.
The Value to Law Firms
The leading legal, news and business resources your patrons access
via the LexisNexis services are a natural complement to the premier
hands-on skills training offered in NITA’s public and in-house
programs. By experiencing the use of such resources in the context
of particular litigation-related tasks (e.g., taking depositions,
brief writing, and trial advocacy), program attendees will better
understand how the success of those tasks can be affected by the
strategic utilization of online resources.
Early Successes…From Attorneys’
Perspectives
LexisNexis has already contributed online research sessions to
several of NITA’s public deposition programs. For instance, this
summer LexisNexis representatives presented several sessions on how
to conduct online research on expert witnesses at NITA’s Expert
Witness Deposition programs.
Attendee comments included:
- I thought it was very useful for both
finding an expert and researching the other side’s experts.
- [I] thought this presentation was very
helpful, and [the] information I learned I will be able to use
in my practice.
- Good presentation. I learned a lot.
- It was good, valuable information.
Upcoming Programs
Both LexisNexis and NITA are aggressively evaluating additional ways
to collaborate that will take advantage of their respective areas of
expertise. For instance, LexisNexis and NITA are currently exploring
the development of a truly unique “hands on” CLE offering in the
area of electronic discovery. In addition, LexisNexis and NITA will
work together to publish new titles and extend valuable LexisNexis
offers to alumni of NITA programs.

KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE ...
LexisNexis® Alert Feature: Be Focused … Be
Current … Be Correct
By Raul
Lopez, LexisNexis Librarian Relations Consultant
When I was a reference librarian at a law firm, being focused,
being current and being correct were the standards I
lived by.
Needless to say, these standards were tested on a daily basis as
I became inundated with new research sources, new technologies, new
research assignments and a host of other issues to troubleshoot.
So when a technology or product enhancement came along that made
my life easier, I jumped at the chance to implement it into my
workflow. After all, being efficient was also a top priority.
In my law firm days, the LexisNexis® ECLIPSE™ feature helped me
to stay on top of events of importance to the firm and to the
library. Just set up the ECLIPSE search, and get regular, automatic
information updates.
Now there’s even more functionality—and more time-saving features
to make reference librarians’ jobs all across the globe easier.
LexisNexis ECLIPSE is now the LexisNexis Alert feature. (See last
month’s feature in the LexisNexis Information Professional Update
for complete how-to details.) And you can monitor breaking news up
to three times a day. Your organization stays current … and responds
in a more timely fashion.
Conversely, should no article meet your criteria—sometimes no
news is news—the new LexisNexis Alert feature gives you the
option to receive an e-mail notification stating just that.
Of course, just because you want more articles throughout the day
doesn’t mean you want to spend hours reviewing duplicates. The new
Alert feature makes it easy to remove duplicates; it just
takes the click of a button during the one-screen set-up process.
You can also save a search for Alert update—even if the search
did not generate any initial results! For all librarians
monitoring corporate deals, litigation matters or legislation, what
a relief to know that more than 20,000 news sources are monitoring
your topic. If something breaks, you’ll find out.
And not only has the LexisNexis Alert feature improved how
librarians monitor news, it has also improved how we monitor cases.
The Alert feature has extended to Shepard’s® Citations
Service, enabling librarians to monitor case law effortlessly.
With a Shepard’s Alert™, you decide what’s important
to track. Do you just want to be notified of future negative
treatment or all new citing references? Simply check the appropriate
boxes and save the Alert search.
Keeping track of your Shepard’s Alerts is also simple. On
the Shepard’s Alert sub-tab, you have the options to edit,
delete, or pause the Shepard’s Alert. It’s that simple.
Are you also responsible for tracking newly filed cases?
LexisNexis® CourtLink® Alerts are now integrated into your
lexis.com® research. Monitor all of your Alert searches—lexis.com,
Shepard’s and CourtLink—from one central location. Just click
the ALERTS tab on the main menu at www.lexis.com. Once you
sign on to www.lexis.com, you can select CourtLink Alert and
be authenticated automatically into the CourtLink service.

THRIFTY SEARCHER . . . Link from USCS History to Public Laws
Dear Thrifty Searcher:
My LexisNexis Librarian Relations Consultant just showed me how
to link from a USCS section’s history to the amending law. Wow! You
should definitely share that with your Thrifty Searcher readers. It
saved time and research budget for me.
Sincerely,
Legislative History Researcher
Dear History Researcher:
If you regularly study how legislation has enacted or amended a
particular USCS section, please note: the task is now simpler. Now
you can link to U.S. Public Law information found in the HISTORY
segment of United States Code Service sections.
That means more than 525,000 new links have been added to USCS
sections so you can move directly from the USCS to enacting or
amending legislation. (That means that instead of searching
Congressional bill-text files or U.S. Public Law files, you click
the link and move to the document you need.)
For example, when you look at the full text of 8 USCS §1101
you’ll note there is a USCS Practitioner’s Toolbox on the
right side of the statute section. The toolbox, which displays in
the FULL mode, is unique to that statute. It only displays
links for section headings that occur in that statute. Use the
toolbox links to navigate lengthy sections efficiently. (For more on
using the USCS Practitioner’s Toolbox, see the July 2005
LexisNexis Information Professional Update.)
To move directly to the History segment of 8 USCS §1101, just
click the History link.
Now you’re ready to link to statute amendments—from the first
revision in 1952 to the most recent.
Let’s say you’re interest in determining how the Intelligence
Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, P.L. 108-458,
affected this code section. The History notation states that Title
V, Subtitle E, §5504 of the Public Law amends 8 USCS §1101.
To see the amending language, click the P.L.
108-458 link. Now you have the full text of the U.S. Public
Law.
Many public laws are extensive; this one has more than 200 screen
pages. But move to §5504 easily. Look at the bottom navigation bar.
Next to the Page box, select pagination for 108 P.L. 458. In
the next box:
ENTER: 5504
CLICK: GO
To return to your UCSC section for more history research, select
your research History link in the upper right corner of your screen.
The full text of U.S. Public Laws passed prior to 1988 are
available as PDF documents. For example, as you view the history
of 8 USCS §1101, you click the P.L. 94-571
link to see section revisions passed Oct. 12, 1976. Then click the
PDF link. (At this time, the PDF documents are not searchable.)
