Abstract
Following her in-depth review, Candace M. Cathey highlights some key features within Linex Systems, a powerful current awareness application for legal and business information professionals.
Item
Organisations are constantly looking for products and services that offer them a simple, yet direct solution to deliver information in an efficient manner. Linex Systems is the tool that meets their needs.
Aggregate Content and Sources
With Linex, users can automatically aggregate external content such as websites, emails, and RSS feeds. Those who have subscription databases, such as LexisNexis and Practical Law, can include them in the application.
This offers a more streamlined work practice, allowing one to generate a single search that provides access to thousands of sources. Linex was designed to enable clients to control and manage the distribution of information in a way that suits them.
Foreign language users can search for information in their native language by entering a query or enter a search and select their language preference.
Newsletters and Alerts
Customers can customise newsletters with built-in templates, logos, and layouts from the aggregated content. In addition, you can upload and edit article summaries and titles as well as add your own text and include links. Linex does all the work so that you don't need to grapple with a complicated application to create your chosen output.
One key feature in Linex is the ability to create alerts. Using a simple interface, users can set up alerts and create internal newsletters.
These alerts can include favourite sources and be distributed to an individual or a cohort of users, such as practice groups. In addition, researchers and administrators can search for alerts in the archives. "My Firm's Library" option can automatically add sources that can be placed in alerts.

This sophisticated and flexible application is very beneficial for users interested in a product with a simple interface that aggregates information into one platform. In addition, researchers who use databases, social media and other external sources will reap the benefits of this product.
