**Legal Week

Legal Week (http://www.lwk.co.uk/default.asp?p=homepage.asp) is an
online publication from the United Kingdom. The current issue is
featured in the center column following breaking news headlines since
its release date. While article titles are links to full stories, a
brief description follows each title.

**The Lawyer.com

Another source of legal information from the United Kingdom is The
Lawyer.com, at http://www.thelawyer.com/. Tabs across the page top
list the available options for using this site. The first tab, Lawyer
News, starts with news headlines and continues by offering current
news about deals, features, comment and surveys. Comments include
editorials and opinions, while the current survey focuses on the
London legal offices of the top fifty US firms.


**LibraryLaw.com

Mary Minow's portal to Library Law opens like a book at
http://www.librarylaw.com/. The left page bookmarks legal issues while
the right page provides links to legal issues affecting libraries.

**AltaVista Launches AltaVista ParaPhrase, New Crawling Initiative

Seems like the new hot thing is providing suggestions to narrow a
search. Teoma trumpeted that in its new launch and now AltaVista is
touting their beta test of AltaVista Paraphrase. One percent of US-
based visitors to AltaVista.com will get to check out the tool.

Here's how it works. Enter a search query. The results will come with
a light orangish box on top. The box will contain suggestions for
keywords to refine your search. If you've used AlltheWeb.com, you'll
notice that it looks very similar to their Beta FAST Topics.

**Teoma the Search Engine

I finished digesting Teoma and here's my thoughts:
