Westlaw Key Numbers Come Out of Hiding

Sue Altmeyer, Electronic Services Librarian, sue.altmeyer@law.csuohio.edu | November 14, 2007 - 17:02

At last! You can now easily get to the digest topic outline on Westlaw via a link on the top of the Westlaw page that says "Key Numbers". Before, you had to click on "Site Map" to get to the topic outline, which was not obvious.

Additionally, when you click on the "Key Numbers" link, you can do a term search to find relevant key numbers. This search will find key numbers in the entire West's Digest set for the jurisdiction or jurisdictions you select. An electronic search of the entire digest for relevant key numbers previously did not exist.

Kudos to the Out of the Jungle blog for bringing this to our attention.
