Hi,
The University where I work parttime has the standard LexisNexis Academic subscription for all throughout the university and a select number of Westlaw Passwords and Ids for the criminal justice program. That gets around the limited legal citation resources provided by Lexis and gives sutdents exposure to both resources.

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.

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.
