The transition from LexisNexis Academic to its redesigned successor Nexis Uni™ is now under way, and UC campuses are among the first of subscribers with IP-based access to Uni already activated. UC will maintain access to both Academic and Uni through October 1, 2017 after which the former will be deactivated.
Nexis Uni™ incorporates a large search box that accepts either natural language or complex Boolean searches across the entire collection, making it an ideal tool for both novice and advanced researchers. Like LexisNexus Academic, Nexis Uni™ features more than 15,000 news, legal and business sources but with improved features such as the ability to create customized home pages, folder creation for group research projects, a predictive search function to better define search terms, and task-based search pods to help guide students with their research.
