Description:

LexisNexis Academic is a powerful source for research in news, law, and business:

  • The News search includes U.S. and World newspapers, industry and trade publications, news wire services, and TV and radio broadcast transcripts. Also look for public opinion polls from the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research.

  • The Legal search includes journals, court cases, laws, and regulations. Court cases and laws are available for United States federal and state jurisdictions, Canada, the European Union, and Commonwealth nations.

  • The Business search includes a company search, accounting publications, and country profiles. The company search provides a "dossier" for each company with a business description, financials, stock information, executives, and more. In each section of the dossier, look for links to in-depth records from Hoover's Company Reports and other sources.
