LexisNexis Butterworths

An updated version of this database has been launched today. The interface has been simplified and the most commonly used search boxes are now much more prominent.

Two of the best new features are:

  • The "Find a source" search on the homepage, that makes accessing international materials much easier than using the sources directory.
  • The results pages now make it much more obvious what related content is available for a document without having to use a drop down menu
There have been no changes to the content of the databse, and links to training tutorials are available on most pages of the database.
