A couple updates from LexisNexis:
1) University Wire is suspended in LexisNexis (recently covered in the Chronicle of Higher Ed.). Alistair Morrison, Product Manager of LexisNexis Academic wrote that, “We continue to be in contact with the distributor of University Wire. Based on our discussions we are cautiously optimistic that updates will resume, though we have not been given a target date. We provide more information as we learn it.”
I’ll keep you updated on this.
2) Added to LexisNexis: The new “Discover America’s Story” source is a collection of small town newspaper articles.
Discover America’s Story focuses on small-town, rural, and “LOCAL” articles and reports on what is happening in-town and in-county while providing a local point of view on bigger issues such as state, regional, national politics and world affairs. The product is rich with articles relevant to geographic locations often under-reported or overlooked by mainstream news coverage such as natural resources, agriculture, land use, water rights and farming. “Small-town” news, op-ed, business, arts, government and life in general are covered well, plus published legal notices and obituaries are included.
