Online legal research steps up to the 21st century with the soon-to-be unveiled COBALT from Westlaw. The Thomson-Reuter group has a new platform for the "new generation of users with higher expectations," which they say is the "next evolution in legal research." A recent posting on Law Librarian Blog has a lot of details on what is expected from COBALT. It seems Boolean logic is out, and we can expect "confidence, productivity, and intuitive" in the new platform. See their video teaser.
Will we have a choice of old or new platform? Will we pay more? How will results be presented? All questions yet to be answered. Your librarian liaison will be with you every step of the way as COBALT rolls out this semester. We'll keep you posted.
