PLI will be in Seattle this summer for the AALL Annual Meeting & Conference, July 13-16.
Stop by our booth (#116) to say hello and learn about the exciting product enhancements we’ve made to PLI’s eBook library, Discover PLUS.
In honor of Seattle’s beautiful Puget Sound, we’ll be raffling off a showstopper of a prize. Stay tuned!
PLI is excited to announce that we’ve added 410 new legal forms from our Course Handbooks to our eBook library, Discover PLUS!
Forms have been added from most of our practice areas, including Corporate & Securities law, Intellectual Property law, and Tax & Estate law. Forms on Discover PLUS are fully searchable, downloadable into Word or PDF, and can be customized to fit your needs.
Since Discover PLUS subscribers can choose to be IP authenticated, users can embed form links into their library or practice group pages. Or subscribers can share frequently accessed forms with colleagues by emailing permalinks, or attaching them as Word or PDF documents.
Based on the feedback and requests we’ve received from our customers, we’ve extracted 1,566 forms from our over 800 Treatises and Course Handbooks, and indexed them so that they’re easy to find in Discover PLUS.
Discover PLUS offers 12 different types of forms ranging from contracts to official forms to pleadings/motions. Each form includes a citation and is indexed with searchable keywords.
PLI will continue to add forms from our Course Handbooks to our forms library on Discover PLUS throughout the year on a quarterly basis. Stay tuned!

If you have any questions or would like to order a title, please email the Library Relations Help Desk or call 877-900-5291.
Following any great product launch there will always be remaining items on the wish list. Since the successful launch of Discover PLUS, we’ve received many requests for access to PLI Course Handbooks published from 1984 – 2008. Adding this Course Handbook archive to Discover PLUS remains our top priority and should be available soon. In the interim, PLUS subscribers can send any requests for archival materials our way—please include the title, the year in which the book or chapter was published, and any other citation information—and we’ll do our best to obtain those for you ASAP.
Send archive requests to libraryrelations@pli.edu or call 877-900-5291.
Today was the last stop on our Discover PLUS national tour. We wrapped things up in our home city, NYC, which has been through a lot these past few weeks. A big thanks to everyone who attended one of our lunches–we learned a lot and now have some amazing feedback on Discover PLUS, which we can’t wait to implement.
If you couldn’t attend one of the lunches, not to worry! Check out our introductory video here (or press play below) or contact us to set up a WebEx demo.
In the wake of the destruction brought on by Super Storm Sandy, PLI moved our Discover PLUS NYC Librarian Advisory lunch to Friday, November 16th at 12:30 PM. The lunch will be held at the same location — Sheraton New York Hotel; 811 7th Avenue, New York, NY 10019. We hope to see you there!
From November 1st, 2012 onwards, no PLI content will be available on Westlaw.
After a twenty-five year partnership with Westlaw, PLI content will no longer be accessible via the Thomson Reuters Westlaw site. PLI was unable to reach an agreement for ongoing distribution by Westlaw of PLI content, including both PLI Course Handbooks and PLI Treatises. Presently and in the future, you may continue to access all PLI Treatises on Bloomberg Law.
PLI continues to offer access to our Course Handbooks, Treatises, Answer Books, Legal Forms and Program Transcripts via the Discover PLUS eBook platform. Please feel free to contact your PLI account manager, Library Relations at libraryrelations@pliedu or (877) 900-5291 or Customer Service at (800) 260-4754 with any questions or concerns.
Due to Super Storm Sandy and the resulting damage and disruption of public transportation, our New York City Librarian Advisory Lunch, scheduled for Thursday, November 1st, will be postponed until further notice. We’ll let you know the new date as soon as possible! Thanks for understanding and we hope all of our customers are safe and sound.
