LexisNexis Academic Tutorial

The redesigned LexisNexis Academic (LNA) service is now available in all the familiar places, through Scribner Library’s database links via either the “Resources by Subject or Topic” or the “A to Z List of Databases.” The LNA service has a new look and new approach to searching, with Easy Search, Power Search, and content specific search forms.

As before, LexisNexis Academic can be very useful when searching news, business, and/or legal topics. LNA staff suggests the following search strategies for some common searches in the revised LexisNexis Academic, which they tout as “easier, faster, and far more powerful than the old:”

• Want to find contemporary news stories on a particular event?

• Want to search a specific publication?

• Want to find stories from newspapers in your state?

• Want to find stories on a particular industry?

• Want to find news stories in a different language?

• Want to find a current movie review?

• Want to find an editorial or opinion piece?
