NEW! IMPROVED! LexisNexis Academic

LexisNexis Academic, the "Lexis light" database that ULS subscribes to and that we use for our non-lawschool patrons (our lawschool Lexis subscription has more extensive content) , has been overhauled and updated and looks very different.
A short list of some of the changes and improvements:

• Shepard's Citations with coverage of all federal and state courts (does not have Statutes, at least not yet)
• Company Dossier is included in all U.S. subscriptions
• Search across broad content such as all news or all federal and state cases
• Powerful source selection using language, geographic, topic, and other facets
• Ability to create ad hoc combined sources
• Power Search form supports full LexisNexis query language and operators
• Sophisticated results clustering feature
• SmartIndexing Technology™ throughout the interface
• Support for article-level linking
• Support for federated searching
• Export citations to RefWorks

Thanks to Michele Kristakis for the information and for the assistance with getting it working on the Pitt campus.
