Paul recently wrote about our recent LexisNexis Versus Westlaw survey results. And, based on good feeback and suggestions from our readers, we’ve revised and enhanced the survey findings.
All 176 pages of the revised edition of the survey results are now available as part of our Legal Research Paper Series.
The enhancements include a new table (Figure 20) that contains user preferences displayed by library type and a very long spreadsheet (Appendix Q) that cross-tabulates responses to questions one, nine, ten and eleven. These responses, as gathered, connect the user groups with their stated preferences and preference explanations. [Note: Appendix Q does not include respondents who only answered question one.]
If you would like to see the data in Appendix Q in a different format, we’ve created a Google shared document with all of the responses to questions one, nine, ten and eleven.
If you have any questions, please let us know. Thanks!
