As you may know, the Cornell Law Library has been maintaining two blogs, InfoBrief and Competitive Edge. We have decided to merge the two blogs under the banner of InfoBrief. To stay current with InfoBrief, you will want to bookmark the address of the combined blog, available <a href="http://blog.law.cornell.edu/library/">here</a>. There will be no additional content added to this blog site.
Thank you for your readership.

But do you know about <a href="https://www.bloomberglaw.com/info/about/index.html">Bloomberg Law</a>, which is positioning itself to be a direct competitor to Westlaw and Lexis? Bloomberg Law (BL) integrates comprehensive legal content, company and market information, and proprietary news all in one place. One of the features that many of us are finding especially useful is access to PACER, with full text dockets from the federal courts, as well as a courier service for a fee for documents not accessible in PACER. BL also has a legal citator system, BCite, which is invaluable for comprehensive research. Cornell law students have BL passwords, and you can, too. <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMWm61LWqNH0NW0TrkAh3-gKqSzS-VkCstoIhGliHR_x8OsfZFlfXy1f1Et5wL0d1Le0tOpT3GET00U_6o7-qhBjElK8R4lrubtfp3fLD_DO0hwJKJysw_Y6bnWex_pn-EtVbqouPLiteB/s1600/image001-778173.png"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMWm61LWqNH0NW0TrkAh3-gKqSzS-VkCstoIhGliHR_x8OsfZFlfXy1f1Et5wL0d1Le0tOpT3GET00U_6o7-qhBjElK8R4lrubtfp3fLD_DO0hwJKJysw_Y6bnWex_pn-EtVbqouPLiteB/s320/image001-778173.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5684180815906796882" /></a><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Our BL rep, Pamela Haahr, will be here this Thursday morning, December 15, and is setting appointments to meet with faculty who want to get started with Bloomberg Law.

Once the Friday editions of daily updated content (e.g., Federal Register, Congressional Record) have been uploaded, GPO will cease updating <a href="http://www.gpoaccess.gov/">GPO Access</a> in terms of both database content and HTML pages. Friday, November 4, will mark the start of the archive only phase of GPO Access and new content will only be loaded to <a href="http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/">FDsys</a>. During this phase, GPO Access will remain publicly accessible as a reference archive. <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">In order to make the switchover from GPO Access to FDsys as seamless as possible for users, GPO is in the process of creating one-to-one redirects from GPO Access content to the FDsys equivalent. This will ensure that bookmarks, Web links, URLs in print publications, and other GPO Access references point to valid Web resources. Once this has been completed, GPO Access will be taken offline. A date has not yet been established for the final shutdown of GPO Access; however, it is slated for fiscal year 2012. <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">If you would like assistance accessing federal documents through <a name="_GoBack"></a>FDsys,please contact me or <a href="http://library.lawschool.cornell.edu/WhatWeDo/HelpFaculty/library-liaison-list.cfm"> your librarian liaison</a>.
