“Vincent has saved the library staff at our law library hours of research when searching for “something like this” or the proverbial needle in a haystack. Whether library staff are helping our members research to write a factum, memorandum, an article or a book, Vincent significantly reduces our members’ research time. Research that would normally take hours now takes minutes.”
Library Manager & Executive Director, Waterloo Region Law Association
