What is a Portable Search Widget?
Portable Search Widgets allow you to put a live LexisNexis Academic search box on your own website. Simply copy and paste a small box of HTML, and turn your site into a direct portal to LexisNexis Academic. As long as your customers are already authenticated remotely through your library portal, or are on campus, the search widget will retrieve the same LexisNexis Academic results you would find on the full product.
