The new year is traditionally the time to stop, take inventory and make resolutions for positive change and self-improvement. So it shouldn’t surprise us that the new semester brings with it new interfaces to several of our databases, including Lexis-Nexis Academic, Emerging Markets Information Service (ISI) and Mintel Oxygen. Common themes to the new looks include

• a prominent all inclusive search box
• new visual cues to the many and varied information types available
• easily accessible online help.

Not to worry, none of these databases have changed their excellent content.

Lexis-Nexis is still a leading provider of global news, company profiles, industry reports, legal information and biographical reports.

Emerging Market Information Services is a key provider of intelligence on macroeconomic conditions, company news and industry developments, including mergers & acquisitions.

Mintel Oxygen is our best in-depth source for market research reports for consumer products & services in the United States.
