It seems that part 2 of my message was sent to everyone but part 1 is in limbo
someplace (and I am sure it will reappear the moment I send this message asking
the same question.)
What I am trying to find out is whether anyone is teaching or demonstrating to
students online services other than Westlaw/Dialog or Lexis/Nexis. We have
been demonstrating a database called DATAQUICK which is similar to the newer
ASSETS library in Lexis. We have been doing this for a real estate law
professor who wants his students to be aware of the type of information that
can be found and the sources that are available. Students do not search
themselves unless they are working on a specific research problem requiring its
use. Also, we were able to negotiate a favorable educational rate for the
online time.
We are now wish to include a demonstration of INFORMATION AMERICA in our
lectures we give to a commercial law class. This might by done either by
actual online searching or with the use of demonstration disks. Is anyone else
including actual demonstrations of INFORMATION AMERICA - or other online
services - in any of your legal reserch lectures?
Please respond to me directly rather than to the general bulletin board and I
will summarize the results for everyone. Thanks.
