LexisNexis® Publisher is Built Especially for the "Gurus"
By Carol Barra
As librarians, we’ve always been perceived as the research and information dissemination “gurus.”
We have the expertise to conduct simple and complex research. And who better to formulate searches that provide targeted results to the entire organization? We understand how to manipulate searches with segments, precision search terms and connectors. We know how to use LexisNexis SmartIndexing Technology™ terms to home in on research results that provide just the right information for the organization.
LexisNexis Publisher was created for librarian “gurus.”
LexisNexis Publisher is a current-awareness tool that empowers librarians to disseminate LexisNexis content on a scheduled basis—via e-mail, intranet, portal, BlackBerry® wireless handheld and the Internet.
With LexisNexis Publisher, you can deliver vital information needed daily to track business trends, clients and their industries, prospective clients and their industries, competitors, and much more.
LexisNexis Publisher delivers results from the most comprehensive collection of legal, news and business sources. For example, tap more than 20,000 news and business resources, including Factiva® news sources. Or check daily changes in vital lawsuits or legislation. (See LexisNexis Publisher in action in Thrifty Searcher on page 06:141.)
