I’m very pleased to announce several important enhancements to LexisNexis Academic database that went into effect last weekend.
1. Individual States added to Federal & State Codes Search Form source selection
They have added the combined statutes, constitution, annotated code, and court rules file for each state to the source selection box.
2. Improved tools for Results Groups
The results classification tools at the left of the results window now allows you to sort alphabetically in addition to the previous arrangement by number of hits. There is also a new “View Multiple Groups” feature that allows you to combine any of the groupings displayed into a customized subset of your results.
3. Findable People and Companies
This new feature exploits the XML tagging LexisNexis has been adding over the past few years. Companies and personal names that have been identified and tagged in full text documents are now highlighted with links to related searches. For companies, a single click takes you to the full Company Dossier report, or you can choose a Company Profiles search or a news search. For people you can choose a biographies & news search or a straight news search.
Instruction on using LexisNexis Academic database can be arranged with library staff.
