WSU Libraries will roll out a new research database to replace Lexis Nexis Academic on July 31. The new database, Nexis Uni, was designed with millennial students in mind, with personalization, collaboration and quick discovery components.
Lexis Nexis Academic is one of the most heavily used databases that the WSU Libraries provide. Nexis Uni will significantly increase user capabilities by providing an intuitive interface, the ability to search across all content, personalization features such as alerts and saved searches, and a collaborative workspace with shared folders and annotated documents. Nexis Uni will greatly facilitate group projects for WSU students.
Most of the content from Lexis Nexis Academic is moving to Nexis Uni, although a few source categories will not be available. However, patrons will gain access to some new sources, such as expanded congressional materials, additional business sources, federal regulatory content and new international news sources.
