BLOOMBERG LAW
Bloomberg Law (a database that combines legal and business materials - created in 2009 (requires a separate password as do Westlaw & Lexis Plus) - is a much newer and less comprehensive database than Westlaw or Lexis Plus.
- Bloomberg Law is growing rapidly, and in particular it is filling the void when it comes to more extensive business resources (which may not be included Westlaw or Lexis Advance).
- In addition, Bloomberg Law has various General Business Centers on Bloomberg Law.
- There is a very useful Business Development Center & a Business Intelligence Center on Bloomberg Law.
