Spend less time and money managing traditional print books! New LexisNexis® Digital Library provides access to one of the largest collections of authoritative legal eBook content
In the age of tablets, smartphones and laptops, legal professionals need more flexible, cost-effective ways to use and share legal reference materials. Together with OverDrive®, the leading global distributor of eBooks and other digital content to libraries and schools, LexisNexis has created a customized eBook lending and management service for your firm or organization.
LexisNexis® Digital Library gives you access to the largest collection of authoritative legal eBook content on a variety of major mobile devices and desktop platforms. Your firm or organization can:• share eBook titles among multiple users, • purchase eBooks centrally, and • manage your library more efficiently It means you can significantly reduce the costs associated with storing, filing and distributing traditional print books.
Instead of individually purchasing and managing eBook titles, you get a website created by OverDrive that is customized for your firm or organization. Via your site, the librarian or designated administrator can order titles, supervise lending and generate detailed reports that enhance your understanding of usage patterns, and facilitate more informed digital content decisions.
Your team members can access, check out and return titles via the primary website, a mobile-optimized version of the site, or a downloadable mobile app. And you’ll be able to better understand how your library is being used with one-click reporting on title usage by practice area, date range and more.
