So, I spotted an article today about how Lexis and Westlaw are finally getting their acts together and offering better search capabilities since so many free competitors are rivaling their services. The best thing would be if they started charging some sort of flat fee for all-you-can-search the way it works in law school, but that’s probably unlikely.
The article talks about how, I believe, they’re going to improve their “natural language” search capabilities. Which is good – but I actually hope that they keep their old, complicated Boolean search functionality too. It gives highly precise results and makes sure you don’t miss anything if every single document within certain parameters comes up. Sometimes I wish I was better at giving Google more precise search parameters, too.
In unrelated news, I’m probably doing Heart of Steel this Saturday. But first of all, it’s expensive, and second of all, they keep spamming my Facebook every day…which is annoying. But I’m probably doing it anyways.
Final piece of news: I heard a rumor that OUMC and CUMC might finally start offering half-blues to climbers. Which would be exciting but also extremely frustrating because I competed [and won] for both teams. I want my two half-blues…then I’ll add them up and make a whole one!
