Subject: [ACADEMIC-LIST] Spread the word! LexisNexis Academic is getting a clean, new look this weekend

Dear Colleagues,

We are planning to release the visual redesign of LexisNexis Academic on April 26. The main differences between the new look and the old are the moving of the navigation links from the right side of the page to the left and the removal of the shaded background from the search forms. If you have not done so already, please see the preview of the new design at http://www.lexisnexis.com/academicmigration/viewpage.asp?p=22.

Apart from adding the "Selected Sources tray" described on preview page, this release will not change the way the product functions. It will still contain the same search forms, with the same fields and the same search logic, etc. The net result will be a cleaner design that provides the same functionality.

Please help us make this transition as easy as possible for your users by distributing announcing the upcoming change to your colleagues and patrons and sharing the link to the preview. Please feel free to contact me or Jennifer on- or off-list if you have any questions or concerns.

Best regards,
Alistair

P.S. Once the new design has launched, I will be sharing with you some ideas we are developing for enhancements to the search forms.

Alistair Morrison | Product Manager, LexisNexis Academic
