Federated Search

Federated Search

LexisNexis currently supports federated search (AKA metasearch) only for the Academic product. LexisNexis provides an XML gateway that a vendor (or other entity) may use to incorporate selected LexisNexis Academic content into a federated search, namely magazines, major newspapers, and law reviews. LexisNexis does not support federated search of case law or statutory law. Use of the XML gateway requires a formal agreement between LexisNexis and the vendor (or other entity) supplying the federated search system, as well as substantial development.

Please note that because the MetaLib application is hosted at the subscribing institution, a short addendum to the LexisNexis Subscriber License must be executed by subscribing institutions to permit access to the XML gateway used for federated search. U.S. institutions should contact the LexisNexis Web Subscriptions Department to process the addendum and set up access at http://support.lexisnexis.com/lnals/. Subscribers outside the U.S. should contact their local LexisNexis reprepresentative.

Once the addendum has been completed and permission has been issued by LexisNexis, you should consult the MetaLib configuration notes, under the "?" icon of the IRD, for set up instructions. If you have any trouble creating the connection from MetaLib to LexisNexis, please contact your Ex Libris representative.
