1. How? Why?
How did you get it?

For what reason?

Isn't it very expensive?

Am I asking too many questions?

11. Ummmm....
you might want to check the user agreement. When I had it through law school, use of it for non-school related purposes or use by a third party was grounds for expulsion for the account holder. And they DID keep track of what it was used for....

12. Sweet.........
Lexis-Nexis is really great for researching various topics. I've been getting it for free for about 3 years now here on my college campus. :evilgrin:

15. The Lexis/Nexis "Academic Universe" version, it sucks
Frankly, you can do as well for most things via other databases or even with a modest knowledge of the various search engines.

I don't know, maybe other colleges have better versions-

16. Lexis-Nexis Request
If it doesn't get you in trouble, could you research the Jeff Christie/Rusty Limbaugh arrest record from the '70s to present? I'd love to see the truth about that @sswipe spilled all over the 'net.
