Dear Colleagues,

The Financial Times (FT) has modified its contract with LexisNexis, and 
as you may have already heard, this has resulted in the removal of The 
Financial Times (FT) for most LexisNexis commercial customers. Please be 
assured that FT continues to be available to you and your patrons in 
LexisNexis Academic. However, the new contractual requirements have had 
some important effects on LexisNexis Academic, which are detailed below.

SEARCHING

FT has been removed from group sources. This means that you will no 
longer get hits from FT when running search in group sources such as 
“News (All),” and “UK Newspaper Stories.” FT and FT Online will continue 
to be available as single sources that can be searched using the Power 
Search form. To make searching of this important resource easier, we 
will be updating both the News and Power Search forms to offer FT as an 
option in the dropdown source selection

SOURCE SELECTION

Like all single sources, FT can be accessed through the source directory 
and searched in the Power Search form. To locate the Financial Times and 
the Financial Times Online, go to the Sources tab and enter “Financial 
Times” in the keyword search. The names of these sources have been 
changed to “Financial Times (London) Archive” and “Financial Times 
Online Archive.” See the next section for an explanation of this.

24 HOUR EMBARGO

The “Archive” designation in the new source names does not mean that the 
files are no longer updating or under a lengthy embargo. The Financial 
Times offers a premium service, not available in LexisNexis Academic, 
which updates multiple times during the day. The archive service 
available to us is updated the next day, with the practical effect of a 
24-hour embargo on this source. The full backfile continues to be 
available.

SOURCE ID NUMBERS

Those who use LexisNexis CSI numbers to provide direct links to the 
Financial Times sources or to specific articles in these sources will 
have to update their CSIs as shown below. This will affect OpenURL 
linkers and e-Journals services, and we are sharing this information 
with our contacts at the vendors who provide these services. The A-Z 
List that provides CSIs for all titles in LexisNexis Academic is updated 
every month, and the April update is scheduled to be posted this week 
with the new CSIs.

CSI = 293847 for Financial Times (London) Archive

CSI = 305962 for Financial Times Online Archive

Please feel free to contact me on- or off-list with any questions you 
may have about these changes.

Best regards,

Alistair
