-----Original Message----- From: Hu, Sylvia Sent: Friday, May 18, 2001 3:58 PM To: Walls Jr., Rob Subject: RE: Weed state statues and reporters from Law Library Rob: We'll save: Annual Renewals: $25,000 Library Rent: $10,000 ( $25 x 400 sift free up approx. 400 sift for office space) Labor Cost: $ 9,600 ( 40 hrs. a month, $20 an hour) ____________________________________________________ Total: $44,600 We'll enjoy higher discount and benefit more from our current flat rate contracts with Lexis and Westlaw if internet and online services are our only options. Lexis is set as $55 per ID per month for unlimited usage. We have 175 users in Legal, pay about $9,625 while our actual usage is $35,000 - $40,000 a month. Westlaw is set at $8,000 a month for usage up to $16,000 a month. We pay $8,000 - $9,000 to Westlaw while our usage is about $14,000 a month. Best of all, federal and state statues and rules are more current with government and state websites and on Lexis/Westlaw than printed books. I have custom weblinks of Lexis and Westlaw on our portal. Trainings are offered to let folks to see how we have made search Lexis and Westlaw so easy. My goal is moving us towards a virtual library. I've not gotten any objections with my weeding proposal. I'll wait to Tuesday, 5/22 to proceed with my plan. I welcome your suggestions and advice. Have a nice weekend! Thanks, Sylvia x36775 -----Original Message----- From: Walls Jr., Rob Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2001 4:38 PM To: Hu, Sylvia Subject: RE: Weed state statues and reporters from Law Library how much money do you think we can save by doing this? -----Original Message----- From: Hu, Sylvia Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2001 2:26 PM To: Cheek, Charles; Haedicke, Mark; Labanowski, Elizabeth; Mintz, Jordan; Mordaunt, Kristina; Rogers, Rex; Sharp, Vicki; Wallace, Stephen; Walls Jr., Rob; Ale, John; Fossum, Drew Cc: Derrick Jr., James; Carter, Rebecca; Davis, Hardie Subject: Weed state statues and reporters from Law Library Dear General Counsels: For Your Attention With the launch of our legal portal - Enron Legal Edge http://legaledge.corp.enon.com, all our legal people now can easily access corporate records, research tools, core legal publications and many other business tools needed to perform our work from the portal anytime anywhere around the world.
