Lexis Nexis Academic, a powerful tool for finding both current and historical news has been added to the collection of databases accessible through the Dibner Library web site. Unlike many of our other databases, its focus is not on scholarly journals. However, if you want to search newspaper articles from past or present, research company performance, or find legal information, it is hard to top Lexis Nexis Academic.
It provides access to over 6,000 news, business, and legal sources. You can search the entire database at once, or engage in highly specialized searching, such as for detailed company information and financial performance, or search all federal and states court cases back to 1789.

Thank you for Lexis access! This is like the Rolls Royce of electronic databases and it’s often restricted at schools to specific departments and even individuals to the point of being useless; it’s a major ‘get.’ Great for sourcing material.
