LexisNexis is replacing LexisNexis Academic with a new product called Nexis Uni; Academic will be retired December 2017.
Nexis Uni is available now to librarians so they can get familiar with it, and provide feedback. There is a link on the new product, under “settings,” to provide feedback directly to the product manager – and librarians are encouraged to do so. The new product will be released to students this summer. Please circulate this information to your library staff so they are aware of Uni, and have a chance to take a look at it.
Each librarian will need to sign up individually to receive an ID and password. To request an ID and password, please fill out a simple form.
There is no charge to get access. As time goes on, more information about Uni will be shared with all those who request an ID.
When Uni is released this summer to students, access will be via IP authentication for campus-wide access. Students will be encouraged to register for an ID and password to take advantage of the personalization features of the new product. They can self-register, so no library staff needs to be involved to manage that process.
The current LexisNexis Academic interface will be replaced by the new product in 2017. We plan to migrate all subscribing institutions over the summer, and at least before the beginning of the fall semester (August). The migration is mandatory. Libraries will be using the current academic product until the migration occurs. The current academic product will be retired at the end of December of this year.
Please feel free to contact LexisNexis rep Paul Rabe with any questions.
