Search Using Nexis Uni®
There are several methods you can use to perform your research using Nexis Uni. Watch this brief video, or review the information in the table below:
| What Do You Want To Do? | Your Best Search Option |
|---|---|
| I want to perform a single, general search across all content types. | Use the main search box on the home page. |
| I want to capitalize on data I already know about my search. For example, I know the specific dates I want to search in, and I know the specific content type I want to search in. | Use the Advanced Search form. |
| I want to create a simple search targeting a particular type of content, such as news, legal cases, or publications. | Use the guided search form in the task pods. Following are the types of searches you can perform using these tasks: |
|
I want to view content that Nexis Uni has already found and curated for Business, Criminal Justice, or Political Science subjects. Tip: These options are helpful for new students who want to learn about a discipline or advanced students who need fast, current awareness within a field of study.
|
Use one of these discipline pages to discover topic-specific news stories, publications, cases, and so forth. |
| I want to view information about a company or executive. | Use the LexisNexis product, Company Dossier, to perform your search. |
| I want to view patent filings. | Use the Patent Filings option from the Menu drop-down list and complete the patent-specific Advanced Search form. |
