How Much Did That Cost?

How to… Locate Database Pricing Information on Westlaw


The Subscriber Information database (SUBSCRIBER) can be used to find pricing information for all Westlaw databases on either a transactional or hourly basis. SUBSCRIBER also supplies pricing info for printing or downloading documents on a per line or per document basis. There are no database charges for searching the SUBSCRIBER database (connect and communication charges may apply).


To search the SUBSCRIBER database:
1. From the Westlaw screen, type SUBSCRIBER into the Search these Databases text box and click GO.
2. In the Subscriber search template, type the database identifier (e.g.: ALLFEDS or IL-ST) into the Database Identifier text box or the database name (e.g.: Federal Case Law or Illinois Statutes) into the Database Name text box and click on Search. Review the list and select the document for the database you are interested in searching.
