"The Cell Phone Search" is a legal research exercise designed to facilitate students' use of citators in subscription databases such as Westlaw, Lexis+, and Bloomberg Law by providing a series of questions for them to answer. For this exercise, the applicable frame from the Framework for Information Literacy is "searching as strategic exploration." At the end of the exercise, students are invited to think about how the results of their search and their search strategies would have been different had they used open access resources.
