Throughout the year, McMaster University Libraries review resource subscriptions when they are coming up for renewal. One resource that we are currently reviewing is Nexis Uni, a database containing business, company, news and legal content.
As part of our review, we received usage data for McMaster from LexisNexis. We have noticed that there is considerable overlap between the highest used publications on Nexis Uni and several other resources we subscribe to, including Factiva.
No decision has been made to this point, and we are seeking feedback on how you use Nexis Uni and whether it would have an impact on your teaching, learning, or research if we were to discontinue our subscription.
We would encourage anyone providing feedback to do so by Nov. 15 at the latest.
