InfoPro Home > Training & Tutorials > Research Tips Directory of Online Sources: Bibliographies on the Fly! One of my favorite uses for the Directory of Online Sources (http://w3.nexis.com/sources/) is to create Bibliographies “on the fly.” The next time a summer associate asks you which California newspapers are on lexis.com, click on this site (which is available on Infopro (www.lexisnexis.com/infopro) under the “Research Tools for Librarians” menu, as well as being available from the new LN Toolbar --see last week’s research tip -- by clicking on the “LexisNexis” pull-down menu. Or better yet, bookmark this site right now! You’re going to want to have instant access to it!) Simply choose newspapers from the “Type” pull down menu, and California from the “Geographic” pull down menu, and voila, you have a list of California newspapers. And you can even turn the list into a pdf by clicking on “View Print Format” at the top. Getting a new practice area? Simply choose that area of law from the pull down menu, and now you have a list of all materials on lexis.com in that subject area. Want a quick list of all Matthew Bender publications on lexis.com? Enter that in the “Publisher / Provider” field. Getting the right resources to the right people at the right time: that’s the mission of the librarian. And now the Directory of Online Sources can help you with that mission!
