I'm doing a presentation for a class this afternoon that involves
Westlaw so I concurr - a little heads-up notice about major
changes/upgrades/whatever like this would have been nice. Or, maybe, do it
on the WEEKEND?!?!!!????

It was terribly inconvenient as it was right in the middle of Advanced Legal Research and we were focusing on things like Shepard's and KeyCite. Anyway, one of our student Westlaw reps happens to be in my Advanced Legal Research class and he says that over the next few days Westlaw is implementing some new "interface and function type things" and that service will be glitch-y. I have not been able to reach our regular Westlaw rep to confirm. I wish if they had some notice about this that I would have known about it somehow, I could have re-vamped my class lesson plan!
