LexisNexis, a leading global provider of content-enabled workflow
solutions, today unveiled LexisNexis® Statistical Insight
with
enhanced search performance and overall user experience.
LexisNexis Statistical Insight, designed to help researchers find
statistical information they need quickly and easily, provides access to
statistics produced by federal agencies, states, business organizations,
research institutions, and international organizations. The redesigned
service, previously known as LexisNexis Statistical, will be
shown at the American Library Association Midwinter Conference, January
15-18, 2010, in Boston, MA.
"In conversations with our customers, we have been hearing how
researchers are drowning in the amount of data that’s currently
available over the Internet,”
said Laura Salmon, vice president
of Library Research Solutions at LexisNexis. "Researchers spend more
time looking for information rather than concentrating on the results.
Our goal for LexisNexis Statistical Insight was to make sure that we’re
delivering the content and the functionality our customers need. The
redesign not only encompasses a world of statistical information in one
common interface, but it takes users directly to the data they need,
delivering content with precision and speed.”
Here are just a few of the changes to the service that will benefit
users:
-
Single search capability across statistical publications, tables, and
datasets
-
Integration of published statistics, the datasets they derive from,
and their relationships
-
Faceted search results that can be filtered by source, geography,
subject, date, etc.
-
Relevance ranking
-
Weekly updates
-
Full-text for thousands of statistical publications and tables
