    Hi Folks,
     
    I have been a member of law-lib for years, but haven't posted for a while, and in fact, had to re-subscribe. So, if this email looks different, that is the reason.
     
    My firm is going to be re-negotiating both our Lexis and Westlaw contracts this year and I have been asked to solicit from other law librarians any coments about their recent experience with this process.
     
    I don't need, nor am I asking for, details of your contracts, but just some general information about the issues that were most important to your firm and the outcome of your contract talks. Also, I am only really interested in hearing from private law firm librarians, since often the contracts for government or academic libraries utilize aspects not relavant for private law firms.
     
    Thanks in advance,
