Nexis has a range of search screens for the
different types of information sources it indexes e.g. News, Company
Profiles, Industry News etc. Navigate between these search screens
by clicking on the tabs at the top of the page. The Power Search screen can
be used to create a customised list of information sources, which can then be
searched. On the Power Search screen
click on More sources under the Sources drop-down box to browse
or search for information sources (There is a Browse Sources tab and a Find
Sources tab). Alternatively, you can click on the Sources tab at the
top of the page. From here you can choose to browse information sources from a
particular country or by language. Once you have selected a country, topic and
language from the drop-down menus, you can browse a list of sources relevant to
the criteria that you selected. You can find out more information about a source
by clicking on the i icon.
Click on the Help
link at the top of the page to access a range of video tutorials that will
teach you how to use the key features of Nexis including the News
search page and Power Search. There are 10 minute in-depth tutorials and
shorter 90 second tutorials.
Nexis can be accessed now via StarPlus
