Lexis/Nexis UNIVerse
Hello Licensers, Are many of you looking at the Web site license version of Lexis/Nexis (UNIVerse)? We have been reviewing it with interest...it certainly provides some obvious benefits (Web interface is much easier to use, site access speaks for itself, full text printing, and additional Reference Databases (BIP, Ulrich's, Encyclopedia of Assoc). HOWEVER, all "Topic" searches search the HLEAD segment only...keyword searches of full text are not possible. This "may" be an option after the first of the year. More troubling, nothing in any of the documentation alerts users to this limitation. LEGIS materials (Legislative histories, bill tracking, bill text) have also been left out, and while the earlier information was they "would be added soon," the current information is that they won't be added at all because they are included in Cong Compass (owned by Elsevier). I'm anxious to find out what other libraries have looked at UNIVerse, and what your reactions are (and what other undocumented changes you may be aware of...)
