YOUR WESTLAW® DIRECTORY—UP CLOSE!
Here are some ways to make your Westlaw Directory even more user-friendly.
What's better than having more than 27,000 databases available to you on Westlaw? Finding the right one!
Accordingly, it's essential you know how to find the Westlaw Directory—and how to make the Westlaw Directory work for you. In particular, you will want to know about features such as the following:
Search for databases by using descriptive terms
To identify and access a database fitting a certain description, type the description (e.g., new jersey corporate forms) in the Search for a database text box in the left frame of the Westlaw Directory and click Go. A list of the databases most closely matching your description is displayed.
In the alternative, you can type a word or phrase in the Search the Westlaw Directory text box in the right frame of the Westlaw Directory page and click Search. For a more precise search, select a subdirectory, e.g., Forms or Bankruptcy, before running the search.
Use the Find a Database wizard
The Find a Database wizard asks questions to help you select relevant databases. To use the wizard, click Find a Database Wizard in the left frame of the Westlaw Directory page. When finished, the wizard displays the Search page for a database or the section of the Westlaw Directory containing relevant databases.
View a subdirectory specific to a jurisdiction or practice area
Many tabbed pages on Westlaw contain links to subdirectories specific to jurisdictions or practice areas.
Set the Westlaw Directory page as your default
If you are a librarian or other Westlaw user who consults the Westlaw Directory regularly, consider having the Westlaw Directory page automatically displayed when you sign on. Click Preferences at the top of any Westlaw page. At the Preferences page, click Document Display. Then select the check box next to Display Westlaw Directory at Sign On and click Save Changes.
