This class is for anyone who ever wanted “just the facts, ma’am,” in their news searching in the Lexis-Nexis Academic Universe. Lexis-Nexis is a powerful tool for news research – when used with the right skills. Without them, you’re often left with far too much…or nothing at all. In this session, attendees will learn how to identify and evaluate available news catagories, understand how Lexis-Nexis works, and craft a search strategy that will take you to the information you need.
