Hello all,



With the support of both our VPI and Business/HR faculty, the LWTech Library is currently in the process of finding a replacement for Nexis Uni after finding out that Lexis Nexis is selling usage data to the federal government in what has been called a massive surveillance program. Part of the data is apparently being used by ICE.



You can learn more here:

I am interested if anyone else has canceled their subscriptions/severed their relationships with Lexis Nexis (now or previously) and if anyone has ideas for alternatives.



Thanks!



Greg
