Janet (and law-lib-ers):

Thank you for raising this issue, which I've been wanting to post to
law-lib. We've been told that Westlaw will train 1l's on both, but Lexis
plans to train on Web only. I think this is a very very bad idea, and not
at all helpful to the future (and present) employers of these law
students.

We have opened discussion with our rep, but as with many of these big
publisher problems, it might be a matter of divided we fall but together
we prevail! Our reps may need our voices to support them.
