LexisNexis Academic:
Unlike most Foster Business Library databases that have a focus, LexisNexis Academic is much more diffuse, probably due to its beginnings as a legal database (Lexis) and as a news source (Nexis). In the Foster Business Library Database Index, LexisNexis Academic is included under Accounting, Articles (Full Text), Business Law, Company Financials, Newspapers, New York Times,
Seattle Newspapers,
Tax, and
Washington State Newspapers.
In addition, from the main LexisNexis Academic homepage, there are links to related LexisNexis databases, LexisNexis Congressional (for comprehensive access to U.S. legislative information, including texts of bills, laws and regulations, and information about members of congress and congressional committees) and LexisNexis Statistical, also known as Statistical Universe (an index to statistics published in commercial, international and U.S. government publications, with statistical tables in GIF and, in many cases, Excel, format).
Access to this database is available from the computers in the Foster Business Library, in other University of Washington libraries, as well as from other computers attached to the campus network--and from off-campus for authorized University of Washington library users, with a valid UW Net Id. The subscription agreement for this database limits its use to students enrolled in a University of Washington degree program, to active instructors, faculty, administrative and research personnel at the University, and for non-commercial purposes only.
(For authorized University of Washington users with a UW Net ID)
LexisNexis Academic is a database that provides accounting, business, legal, medical, news, and reference information as well as full text articles from over 18,000 sources, including 6,000 general, business and legal news sources (mostly newspapers, both U.S. and international), as well as transcripts and polling information. Unlike other full text article databases, it offers little scholarly journal content except in law and medicine. It is also a good source (among others) for U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission filings.
LexisNexis Academic Arrangement:
