Database of the Week - NexisUni

Nexis Uni – New Name and New Look

With a “Google-like” search box, Nexis Uni database’s homepage is easy to use and looks less cluttered compared to its past look when it was known as LexisNexis Academic.

What is Nexis Uni? It's a Library database that features more than 15,000 news, business and legal sources —including U.S. Supreme Court decisions dating back to 1790—with an intuitive interface that offers quick discovery across all content types, personalization features such as alerts and saved searches and a collaborative workspace with shared folders and annotated documents.

One can still access advanced search options by clicking on the Advanced Search link under the search box or limit their search to specific content areas by clicking on a topic area under Guided Search found below the Search box.

Nexis Uni is available for free for all SWC students, staff, and faculty. Start at the SWC Library's Databases page, and select Nexis Uni.
