Powerful Source Selection
Search for a source by name or use the source taxonomy to identify sources by type, language, topic, geography, and other facets. The Source Information feature shows LexisNexis coverage details and enables you to determine how frequently it is published, how quickly it is available, who publishes or provides the source, typical content, and searchable document sections.
SmartIndexing Technology
LexisNexis SmartIndexing Technology is at work throughout LexisNexis Library Express to help guide users to the information they need. SmartIndexing applies controlled vocabulary terms for several different taxonomies to all LexisNexis news and business content. Sources are also indexed, making it easy to locate publications in the Source Selection tool by attributes such as publication type, language, geographic region, and main topics covered.
The taxonomies are built and maintained by the LexisNexis Taxonomies and Indexing team, comprised of information professionals, lawyers, subject matter experts, and analysts. Index terms are assigned using a unique approach that combines the best features of human and automated indexing practices. Index term rules are developed and tested by the Taxonomies and Indexing team. These rules are used to assign relevant index terms automatically to documents and sources. All news and business content is re-indexed every quarter to ensure that indexing is consistent, comprehensive, and up to date.
Results Clustering
Results clustering technologies have been steadily gaining popularity with information systems designers and users, and LexisNexis has created an exceptionally powerful implementation based on LexisNexis SmartIndexing Technology.
Results clustering provides an instant, multi-faceted analysis of the distribution of hits in each result set. It is a powerful tool that allows users to filter their results sets and get to the information they need quickly and easily. It also has an important heuristic role. Results clustering familiarizes new users with the different classes of content in LexisNexis Library Express and allows them to visualize the effects of different search strategies.
