LexisNexis interface changes coming... Oops! now postponed until December 2009.
But a Beta release is expected in September. Stay tuned...
Highlights of the new interface:
new Easy Search screen
new navigation menu (left side)
new search forms (such as a "Landmark Cases" form under Legal)
Why the changes?
Since the 2007 redesign LexisNexis has been gathering feedback from librarians and users, and they conducted usability testing in fall 2008. They identified several areas for improvement. They learned that students 1) were confused by the Easy Search form, 2) were not finding all the options available on the navigation menu, and 3) were not aware of the large number and great variety of valuable resources available in LexisNexis Academic. The enhancements are focused on these three issues, as well as some minor changes throughout the interface to make it easier to use.
