[Eril-l] alternative to WestLaw or Lexis?

[Wardzala, Susan]

Hi Beth,

I am not sure if this is geared enough to undergrads, but I really like HeinOnline for legal/government sources.

Hi -- this is a long shot since legal materials tend to be rather unique, but I thought I'd try.


Is there an alternative to WestLaw or Lexis that really focuses on undergraduates who are probably not going to law school for the most part?


The reason I ask is that I am really tired of dealing with arrogance at WestLaw. We briefly had access to Lexis a few years ago and encountered the same arrogance. They are really very focused on law schools and law firms and not particularly interested in undergraduate education. That's my feeling anyway.


I'm just trying to see what is out there -- with maybe somewhat comparable content.


Thanks!
