Abstract
To facilitate legal research, companies, such as Thomson West provide subscription-based (pay-for-access) online information-retrieval systems. Seeking to improve these and related systems, the present inventors recognized researchers often need to access open web content that is outside their subscription-based system. Accordingly, the present inventors devised systems, methods, and software that automatically search for and identify open web documents in response to queries within the subscription-based system and/or automatically search for and identify pay-for-access content in response to receiving open web queries.
