As a forensic legal consultant I use the web all of the time 7/24/365 to
effect legal research, whether it be searching case law at lexisone.com, finding
an attorney at lawyers.com, or using google.com to peruse boilerplate
motions, affidavits, depositions, et al.

Hello -- In preparation for an article I'm writing, I'd like to hear how
information professionals use the Web in the course of their work. When do
you search for information on the open Web? I'm not talking about using the
deep or hidden Web, or any of the Web-based proprietary systems, but, rather,
how you use the free, open Web to perform legal or business or other types of
research. How often can you find what you need? How long must you look?
What do you go through to find what you need? Why do you use the Web rather
than a database service? And, finally, if you can find what you want on the
Web, at no cost, do do you need to justify maintaining all those expense
contracts with the services?
I really appreciate your thoughts on this subject. I will, of course,
contact you if I use your response in the article.
