Hi Everyone -

I just wanted to send an e-mail to invite you and your staffs to the
Department of the Interior Library on Wednesday, December 4th from 2:00 to
3:15 pm for a training session entitled "WestlawNext: Introduction and New
Features" part of our series of free training sessions at the DOI Library.

Thomson Reuters WestlawNext online legal research service permits users to
search for legal, legislative, news, and business content without first
selecting a database, allowing one to click check boxes to select the
jurisdiction and nature of material wanted. Its new search algorithm,
referred to as WestSearch, is perhaps the world's most advanced legal
research engine, executing a federated search across multiple content
types. Users can enter descriptive terms or Boolean connectors and select a
jurisdiction. Search results are ranked by relevance. WestlawNext also
supports retrieving documents by citation, party name, or KeyCite
reference. An overview page enables users to see the top results per
content type, or to view all results for a particular content type. Filters
can also be applied to refine the result list even further. On the results
page, users can also see links to related secondary sources relevant to
their research. WestlawNext also provides folders for storing and sharing
portions of the research selected by the user. Attendees will be taught by
a Thomson Reuters trainer how to maneuver through this new, user-friendly
platform to find the search results they need.

All that are interested are invited.  The DOI Library is located in the
Main Interior Building, located at 1849 C Street, NW, Room 1151 in
Washington.  Space for the program is limited so please go to the following
link to register:

a simultaneous online webinar. Please indicate on the online registration
form if you wish to obtain information about webinar access to
this program.
