SPOTLIGHT ON . . . Historical Quotes—in Date Ranges
Back to 1970—Are Now at www.lexis.com
Quick quiz…what can be as valuable as today’s stock price?
Answer: Yesterday’s … and last month’s … and in some litigation, even stock prices during a specific period, like the summer of 1984.
If your practitioners need to understand the historical pricing of a stock or other financial instrument—for securities lawsuits and enforcement actions, for Sarbanes-Oxley or M&A due diligence, for bankruptcy, even for settling an estate—turn to Historical Quotes now available on the LexisNexis® services at www.lexis.com1
Historical quotes on LexisNexis Web resources are packed with information and features that make trending faster and more efficient.
LexisNexis is collaborating with SunGard (formerly Tradeline) to offer this gateway to a comprehensive collection of historical quotes. Coverage dates back to 1970.
More importantly, you can select a variety of search forms for:
- Stocks (de-listed, bankrupt, merged, acquired and privatized companies included)
- Hundreds of financial/market indexes
- Funds
- Corporate bonds
- U.S. government debt
- Unit trusts
- Currencies
- Capital changes (de-listed, bankrupt, merged, acquired and privatized companies included)
Though some forms are slightly different to reflect the source matter, generally you can search by instrument type, date range, data range, stock symbol or company/fund name. Retrieve daily results for a date range you choose. Or view results by week, month, quarter or year. You can also select from a variety of currencies—from more than 160 nations. And prices are reported in the same format as the exchange, e.g., prices that are reported using decimals will be displayed with decimals.
View results in formatted tables that can be printed to your local printer for no additional charge. Or view a variety of interactive charts that make it easy to zero in on trends. (You can add a competitive stock and compare prices.) Or download2 your results in comma-separated values (CSV) to a spreadsheet program.
Your LexisNexis account executive can show you more on Historical Quotes.

To PRINT a company’s quote, click the print icon in the upper left corner, above the company name.
To DOWNLOAD a company quote in spreadsheet format, click the download icon.
You can also view your information in Chart display, e.g., for stocks, showing Closing Price and Volume. Just click the VIEW CHARTS tab. To change chart size—select from small, medium (default) and large—or chart type (High-Low-Close instead of Close for stocks), scroll to the bottom of your results and use the search form to enter new chart display options. Then click REDRAW CHART.

TAKE A TOUR . . . Lexis® Search Advisor—Now It’s Easier to Explore Topics
Select the SEARCH ADVISOR tab. Then choose one of the 40-plus practice areas.
Now take a look at what’s new: when you select a practice area, you can browse the topics in an enhanced table of contents (TOC). And you can select any level of the TOC to search for LexisNexis® Headnotes or cases.
You’re probably already familiar with TOC displays. The Code of Federal Regulations, Federal Register, U.S. and state statutes, treatises and other sources at www.lexis.com display in TOC format.
Browse the topic table of contents, opening and closing levels until you discover your topic. Or search the TOC for a specific topic. Here’s how each research method works:
Select a topic from the SEARCH ADVISOR menu, e.g., Patent Law. Now you have two choices:
1. Search the table. For example, you want to research prosecution history estoppel as a defense to infringement.
a. Under Option 1 on the TOC screen, enter your search words, e.g., ENTER: estoppel /5 infring!
(The default is to search within the Patent Law TOC. Search all Lexis Search Advisor practice areas and topics by selecting the All Search Advisor Topics radio button.)
b. Click FIND.
c. Now review an abbreviated TOC with only those levels that contain your search words.
d. Find cases or LexisNexis Headnotes for any topic listed in your TOC search results, i.e., choose any black or blue link. (To move back to the full patent law TOC, click the blue arrow or red diamond symbol to the left of each black or blue link.)
e. Select a jurisdiction. Then retrieve all LexisNexis Headnotes on the topic. Or add specific search words and search cases for that topic.
2. Explore the table. (Shown above.) Drill down through the TOC to find the topic you wish to search. Click + to open a level and – to close a level. For example, as you’re looking at the patent law TOC:
a. Click the + next to Infringement Actions.
b. Click the + next to Prosecution History Estoppel.
c. Click on any subtopic under Prosecution History Estoppel. Or click the Prosecution History Estoppel topic itself.
d. Select a jurisdiction. Then retrieve all LexisNexis Headnotes on the topic. Or add specific search words and research cases for that topic.
LIBRARIAN TO LIBRARIAN . . . Changing Times:
The Evolution from LexisNexis® Services
to LexisNexis® Total Practice Solutions
January is always a good time to look toward the future, don’t you think? With 2006 stretching out ahead of us, what an excellent opportunity to contemplate what lies ahead.
It’s no secret that law librarians have constantly reinvented themselves as the practice of law has evolved. Today’s law librarian is responsible for understanding the information needs of their organization in a much more holistic sense. We have begun to see how information fits into the bigger picture of the law firm.
This means that many of us have taken on additional tasks, apart from those traditionally assigned to the librarian. For example, we are much more likely to be included in our firm’s client development and marketing efforts, helping to determine which products or services best meet those needs in the most cost-effective manner.
And while we obviously continue to focus a great deal of our time on those “traditional” librarian tasks, such as conducting research and providing training, we also recognize that even these traditional tasks are changing. We now recognize the importance of monitoring news and information trends in order to implement new sources and tools within our firms.
We have also become involved in practice management tasks such as negotiating and implementing contracts, as well as implementing cost-recovery procedures.
Lastly we are now keenly aware of how we can assist the firm in litigation services by providing content such as court dockets and report products to those litigation attorneys. We’ve taken on these tasks because we now understand how pervasive “information” is within the life of a modern law firm, and if we’re going
to be “information managers,” we have to go where the needs are.
LexisNexis is also on a continuous evolutionary path, from first introducing Computer-Assisted Legal Research in 1973, to a much more holistic vision of delivering Total Practice Solutions in 2006 and beyond. Since the release of the Lexis® online service in 1973, LexisNexis has had a long—and strong—history
of developing products, acquiring key content and software providers, and building strategic partnerships to fill additional needs of our legal customers. The LexisNexis of today delivers Total Practice Solutions, which help you achieve excellence in the business and practice of law:
• Client Development: providing industry-leading networking and marketing resources to grow a practice. The LexisNexis Client Development Portfolio provides lawyers, librarians, marketers and business-development professionals with the resources they need to effectively market and grow their practices. Through a combination of LexisNexis products and services, firms will have the essential tools to build their brand, segment their markets, uncover new business opportunities and provide exceptional client service.
• Research Solutions: providing exclusive sources vital to client success. You can be sure that your preparation is complete by gaining access to our comprehensive—and in many cases, exclusive—information sources. Conducting research is one of the key supporting tasks of the practice of law. Knowing that you have all the relevant research materials needed, organized in a logical manner and in a format that is easy to use, gives you confidence that your research is accurate, on-point and complete.
• Practice Management: providing services and tools proven to improve firm productivity and profitability. With a good front-office system, law firms can increase revenue. With a good back-office system,
firms can keep more of what they earn. And with effectively managed network services, law firms can protect critical data. With all of these elements combined in a unified solution provided by LexisNexis, law firms can substantially improve operations and save time and money.
• Litigation Services: providing strategic insight and greater control throughout the litigation process. LexisNexis® Total Litigator offers the litigation information and tools essential to your firm—all in one place. Everything is intuitively organized around the tasks you do across the life of a case—filing, drafting, discovery, research and more. It works the way you work—providing a straightforward solution to finding the vital information you need to succeed at every step of the litigation process.
Undoubtedly you will be hearing much more about LexisNexis Total Practice Solutions as time goes by, but I wanted you to see that, as the practice of law continues to evolve, and law librarians continue to reinvent themselves to serve this ever-changing world, so do the solutions provided by LexisNexis.
The future looks bright!

Customer Service: Bring your “A”ttitude Game
By Julie Webster-Matthews , LexisNexis Librarian Relations Consultant
The world’s number-one golfer, Tiger Woods, is often cited for bringing his “A” game to the tournament. With the “A” game, he is playing at his very best and almost impossible to beat. As much as it reflects his skill, the “A” game equally reflects his attitude.
Ask any golf fan, and they will tell you that Tiger always brings a positive attitude to the game. But the right attitude isn’t just important in sports. It is equally vital in customer service.
Stop and think about your library. Are you bringing your “A” game to customer service? Attitude is your secret weapon for maintaining an environment where your patrons feel comfortable approaching you for assistance. Here are a few questions to help you appraise the attitude you bring to your customer service game:
What does my attitude look like?
When users enter my library, how are they greeted? Has anyone ever appeared at my door with a question, and I was too busy to even look up when I responded? It sounds dramatic, but it happens. Non-verbal communication can send a powerful message.
According to Mike Petrook, public-affairs manager of the Chartered Management Institute, “Less than 10 per cent of the messages we convey are verbal. Half of what we communicate is transmitted through our bodily positions and movements, so understanding physical gestures and expressions can help us work more effectively at all levels of the workplace.”*
Something so simple can make a world of difference. How about a smile? Most would agree that a smile goes a long way toward our perception of a person. Think about your own experiences. When you are greeted with a smile, it makes you feel like that person genuinely wants to help.
In our roles as law librarians, we work with legal professionals who often have deadlines and pressures that can create tremendous stress and tension. Sure it’s hard to smile sometimes, but in most instances, a smile and a “let me help you” attitude can diffuse almost any situation.
What does my attitude sound like?
How are users greeted on the telephone when they call our library? Attitude is also important on the telephone. Is there a spirit of cheerfulness even though they cannot see your face?
One of the libraries I work with in southern California is the Orange County Public Law Library. If you have an occasion to call and get Lu Nguyen on the telephone, you will experience this attitude of service. You can practically see his smile through the receiver. You just know from his tone that he wants to help you.
Another important element of communication is voicemail. How many times in the last year have you changed your voicemail message? Have you ever called someone and as soon as their voicemail answered, you hung up because you just knew that the message was the same one you always get? Refreshing your message with current information or a new greeting sends the message that, although you may not be available at that time, you care about the caller.
What’s the perception of my attitude among my users?
How is my library doing in the area of customer service? What do you think the feedback would be from your users if you asked them about the service they receive in your library?
While a needs assessment or survey is a great tool to assist in making decisions about planning, budgeting and setting priorities, it can also be used to gauge how well your customer service is being perceived by your users.
Think about it. Used in this non-traditional way, your needs assessment can also:
- promote your attitude of service;
- serve as a communication tool between you and your users; and
- send the message that you care about the service provided.
An assessment also increases the visibility of your library, which translates into marketing. In these days of reduced budgets and increased financial accountability, it is essential to keep the library and its services in the spotlight.
Once the assessment has been analyzed, making adjustments or expanding services based on the feedback can work to your benefit. For example, if feedback reveals that the users often need assistance after regular business hours, extending library hours maybe one day a week would demonstrate your desire to fulfill the expressed need.
We can’t be champions every day. Like Tiger Woods, some days we’ll have fewer birdies than the day before, and unfortunately, an occasional bogey. But also like Tiger, we should never settle for par. Our goal should be to elevate our attitude to a place that will keep us at the top of our “A” game in customer service.
