Westlaw To End Free Printing For Law Schools

Joe Hodnicki at the Law Librarian Blog posts the following:

News is bubbling through law school and library forums that West will discontinue free law school printing effective June 30, 2013.  I assume that includes faculty printing.  Law schools can keep the printers and fund them if they wanted to, but Westlaw IDs would be tied to them only through June 30, 2014.  When I wrote about Bloomberg Law’s push into law schools, I said Bloomberg had no plans to include free printing as part of the deal.  I didn’t think it made any difference to the acceptance of Bloomberg in law schools given that it was essentially going to be free.  See that post for more details.
