[edit] Hot Topics Links

This new enhancement provides users with one-click searching capability. Find recent news articles for current events like Health Care, the US Presidential Election, or Education, just by clicking a link on the front page of our interface. Want to see today’s front-page newspaper stories from all around the world? Now, you have one-click access.

On the interface, the Hot Topics link replaces the "Countries" widget. All Country information will now be available in its own separate search form. Please click "Country Information" on the left navigation to see the Country Information search form. All content from that widget is still available on this form.

[edit] LexisNexis Academic Knowledge Center

If you're seeing this page, you're seeing the new LexisNexis Academic Knowledge Center! Formerly known as the LexisNexis Academic Wiki, the LexisNexis Academic Knowledge Center is the new name for our updated support site. The Knowledge Center is the primary place for collateral support for librarians. Check out the KC for user guides, links to YouTube video tutorials, and all Academic Help/FAQs.

[edit] Coming Soon: WebNews

A major release for the Academic market, soon LexisNexis Academic will now include results from the open web, as well as results from our robust database. The web results are triggered by news searches and populate in a separate tab in Results List view. WebNews searches over 700 LexisNexis-vetted news sites at once. No matter if you’re doing a section search or a highly-involved Boolean search, the WebNews functionality will apply the exact same search to find results from the open web. Even if our database returns zero results, WebNews results will still populate!
