LexisNexis Academic Interface Changes
Did you know that the LexisNexis Academic interface is undergoing changes that are scheduled to take effect in December? If not, you might want to read the information available at the LexisNexis Wiki for Higher Education, accessible at http://wiki.lexisnexis.com/academic. This wiki is loaded with helpful information that supports librarians on the use of LexisNexis Academic, LexisNexis Congressional and LexisNexis Statistical.
General information about the Academic enhancements is available on the wiki in an FAQ located at http://wiki.lexisnexis.com/academic/index.php?title=Academic#Enhancements_for_December_2009.
For enhancement specifics, including changes to search forms and access to a beta version of the new
Academic interface, go to http://wiki.lexisnexis.com/academic/index.php?title=Academic_Search_Form_Menu.
According to LexisNexis, the primary means of communicating with subscribing libraries about the upcoming changes to Academic is the Academic listserv. Sign up at http://www.lexisnexis.com/academic/listserv/default.asp.
For those libraries that are currently subscribing to LexisNexis Statistical, you should note that the Statistical interface is being enhanced as well, as of January 2010. Read about it on the wiki at http://wiki.lexisnexis.com/academic/index.php?title=Statistical.
