Mead Data Central Former President, LexisNexis Developer Dies
According to a bit on LISNews and The Washington Post, H. Donald Wilson, the first president of Mead Data Central, died November 12. During Wilson’s presidency, the company launched LexisNexis to news libraries and law firms.
From the Post:
"Mr. Wilson started by developing a business plan for an engineer’s invention of how to better search text for certain words or phrases. That plan became a company that started LexisNexis, now the world’s largest online electronic library of legal opinions, public records, news and business information."
How many of us are addicted to LexisNexis? I have a difficult time imaging doing my work without it or other news databases.
