Document Summary
It has been said that newspapers are the first draft of history. The two full-text databases we will study now are two of the best sources available for recent and contemporary news articles from around the world. Lexisnexis is a full-text database in the fullest sense. Everything you find indexed here is also here in full-text form. In this lesson, i will be discussing lexisnexis in terms of its news collection. However, before we do that, i want you to understand that this database goes into many other directions and is, consequently, gigantic. Start by accessing the database from the library"s home page (from either the alphabet row or the. Frequently used databases list) and then pause at the information screen a second. This deceptively brief description belies an almost mind-bogglingly enormous treasure-trove of information. Thousands of publications and millions of articles are stored here touching on every aspect of the on-going human fiasco.
