Hi James:
The college where I teach has the academic version as well. The way it was
explained to me by our rep was that if they offered the full Shepherds as
part of the academic version that local practitioners might be "tempted" to
use the school's Lexis resources instead of maintaining their own
subscriptions.
I'd be interested in hearing from others as well as to Lexis' reasoning in
this area.

Subject: LexisNexis Academic
Hello, and Happy Friday, My Fellow Law-Libbers!! Question-do any of you in
academic law libraries subscribe to "LexisNexis Academic"? The library I
work with has it. From what I can see, it provides access to all state and
federal codes and case law, but it only provides Shepardizing for US Supreme
Court cases-nothing else. It doesn't seem logical to me that it wouldn't
provide a way to Shepardize all of the material that it provides. Am I
missing something? Is there a way to Shepardize that I don't know about?
Please fill me in. And perhaps, if anybody from Lexis is listening in, maybe
you can provide me an answer. Thanks, everybody, and have a great weekend.
