Webinar: Transitioning to WestlawNext

The West eLearning Center has set up four live, free, 30-minute webinar training sessions to present information about WestlawNext, the new legal research system from Thomson Reuters, Legal.

I listened in on a session of the webinar titled “Transitioning from Westlaw to WestlawNext.” It highlights the features of WestlawNext and compares them to what you’re familiar with in Westlaw.

The next opportunity to participate in it live is Thursday, March 4 at 10 a.m. Central.

Mike Schneckloth, an inside account manager for West, led the session I listened to and said, “The biggest shift when searching on WestlawNext is being confident that you don’t have to ask yourself if you chose the right database.”

Schneckloth walked participants through the features including search queries, result filters and key document searches.

Again, “Transitioning from Westlaw to WestlawNext” is one of four webinars in a series and the final opportunity to participate in it is Thursday, March 4 at 10 a.m. Central.

Also, consider participating in one of the three other live webinars:
