- Description
- Notice
As of July 1, 2009, LexisNexis Academic will no longer be available through the Rutgers
University Libraries. It will be replaced by
Westlaw Campus Research which offers
similar extensive coverage of legal, news and business components.
In addition to the availability of Westlaw Campus Research news coverage comparable with
what was formerly available through LexisNexis Academic, the Libraries subscribe to Access World News which also
provides excellent newspaper coverage.
You may consult with a reference librarian for help in using the new Westlaw Campus
Research or for other ways to help locate the resources you need, or you may use the
Ask a Librarian service. Training sessions for
Westlaw Campus Research will be available. The Libraries regret any inconvenience to our
user community.
