LexisNexis has given its flagship product its most comprehensive overhaul since launch – and with over 70 changes, including some powerful enhancements, the improvements to LexisNexis Professional make this the most user-friendly, in-depth online intelligence search facility on the market. The upgrade follows an extensive usability study, where a prototype of a ‘new, improved’ version of LexisNexis Professional was tested by a cross-section of users from different sectors – with different levels of experience and different information needs. They decided which improvements worked, which didn’t, and suggested some additional changes. The resulting LexisNexis Professional boasts clean lines, simple images and subtle colouring – which all work together to simplify the user experience. There is also a new navigation structure, improved search forms and Alert personal is more readily accessible. However, while the look and navigation of LexisNexis Professional has been transformed, the product’s access to over 33,000 sources – and growing – remains unchanged. Easier to Use Unnecessary words and images have been removed to make LexisNexis Professional quicker and easier to use. Plain English A plain English approach has been adopted, with less jargon and clearer wording. New Navigation Structure Saving sources to search later is one of our most popular features. Fewer clicks Fewer clicks means it’s quicker to find what you want. Increased Feature Prominence Some features are simply more important than others. These have been given greater standout. Alert personal Integration All the powerful features of Alert personal are now available more easily from LexisNexis Professional. So now it’s quicker and simpler to access your alerts – and mobile alerts enable you to receive alerts through your Palm or other PDA. Improved Search Forms There are several changes to note, such as the introduction of Scottish and Isle of Man Legislation and improvements to the UK Cases form. More changes will follow in the next release. Natural Search Patterns In response to specific feedback, natural search patterns are matched. For example, you can now save an alert even when you get zero results. Article tagging You can now look at a list of all your tagged articles in one go. Cross Charging Simplification For the larger organisation, new Project Reference options take the headache out of cross-charging. So it’s quick and easy to account for online usage and eliminate unallocated usage.
