[blindlaw] westlaw

[Angie Matney]

Hi,

I'm sorry you were given that information. I found Lexis to be very
accessible with JAWS. There was only one area that I ever found where
buttons were not labeled properly. This had to do with Shepardizing, though
I don't remember the exact context now. I called the customer service line,
and someone was able to replicate the problem and tell me what to do.

I have found that several JAWS commands, like using x and shift-x to move
between check boxes, can make it pretty easy for me to navigate search
results in Lexis. 

I have used JAWS versions 8 and later with both Lexis and Westlaw without
difficulty. I don't know if older versions of JAWS work as well.

Best,

Angie

Salutations,
     While conducting research at the Sacramento State Law Livrary I used 
Lexis Nexus and West Law databases.  They had a special computer for Zoon 
Tex, however there was not anything for JAWS.  The librarians said that they

would look into the Jaws software.  I joined a law school and recently asked

if Jaws is compatible with Lexis Nezxus.  The response is negative and 
honest in that Jaws and Lexis Nexus is clunky and many there are problems 
with these two subjects.
Best Wishes,
