[Yulpub] LexisNexis Academic interface and features

[Suzanne Lorimer]

At this Sunday's meeting of the Academic Universe Content Advisory 
Committee meeting in Chicago, one of the major topics on the agenda will be 
a discussion of the interface and search features of the product 
(LexisNexis Academic).  Here's part of the message I just received this 
morning:

>. . . we expect that an important company exec will be there to hear 
>directly the kinds of concerns and comparisons we've been making between 
>LexisNexis Academic (and by implication other products of theirs) and 
>competing products.  . . .  it will be a great opportunity to get the big 
>picture across to someone who can make some decisions to invest in 
>retooling the product. If you have a little time before you leave for ALA 
>to look at some of the competing products ( e.g. Factiva) and think about 
>what you'll want to say, I think that would be time well spent!

Please let me know if you have any comments, suggestions, comments, or 
rants to pass on to LexisNexis.
