Large online database collections are quite familiar to anyone in legal research and writing. LEXIS, Westlaw, Findlaw, The Legal Information Institute and LoisLaw are amongst the most well-known, but there are scores of smaller services that specialize in legal materials on particular topics, or that are published in specific types of source works.

These large databases, as well as the smaller, more focussed collections of legal sources are indispensable resources for the legal researcher. The LegalCitation database system is grounded on the premise that a personalized subset of the information in these larger collections - tailored to an individual’s special area of concern or practice, with editable keywords and comments - is useful to legal researchers as well.
