Sharing Online Search Strategies Using the History Link (January 23, 2008)
Here is an easy way to share online research strategies with colleagues so that you don’t duplicate work.
- Log on to the LexisNexis® services at www.lexis.com, and click on the History link in the upper-right corner.
- Unless you’ve done all of your research today, you’ll need to click on the Archived Activity tab.
- You can choose to Sort results by Client ID or Date.
The sort function allows you to view specific groups of searches by client/matter number or by date. Once you’re pleased with your filtered results click on the View Printable History link. Now you can use your browser function (File; Send Page by Email) to send your search strategies to the other librarians who need to see them.
