[edit] The New LexisNexis Scholastic
The Scholastic product has been redesigned and now includes much more content, as well many new features.
The interface was redesigned for the students to make a natural transition to college. The new interface is very similar to the LexisNexis Academic product, currently being used by colleges and universities across the United States.
[edit] Migrating to the new URL
For a limited time, you will have access to both Scholastic products. However, you must switch permanently to the new interface by October 31, 2010.
The new URL address is as follows:
http://www.lexisnexis.com/hottopics/scholastic
The schedule retirement of the old Scholastic service (www.lexisnexis.com/scholastic) is October 31, 2010.
[edit] Things to know about the new Scholastic
[edit] Content/Feature Functionality differences
- Newly redesigned interface is modeled after what students currently use in colleges/universities currently, which produces natural transition.
- A much more intuitive interface, providing ability to perform deep research or using easy functionality to run search by simply entering your topic
- More content
- Detailed company information, including company profiles. Over 43 million private and public companies are included.

[edit] Statistical Content
Effective July 31, 2010, Statistical is being retired and removed from the LexisNexis service. The content, as you know it no longer exists. A new product has been created, called DataSets. A business decision was made to EXCLUDE the new Datasets into the new Scholastic product as it would have dramatically increased the cost. For more information regarding the new services, Statistical Insight and Statistical DataSets, please visit our website at http://www.lexisnexis.com/academic
Your institution can purchase a standalone subscription to Datasets by contacting, Katie Culliton at 301 951 4629.
If your insitution has a subscription to Primary Sources in US History, you can still maintain that subscription. However, it will be billed separately at a different URL. (URL address: http://cisweb.lexis-nexis.com/histuniv/) Again, Katie Culliton is the point of contact 301-951-4629.
