This fall LexisNexis announced its first archival digitization project--the LexisNexis U.S. Serial Set Digital Collection. When complete, researchers will be able to search the full text of 180 years of Congressional publications online or pinpoint documents through invaluable indexing.

First release in December 2003, completely online by December 2005.

LexisNexis Statistical subscribers will soon be able to retrieve tables from OECD. This data is expected to nearly double the IIS PowerTables found in the database's Research Edition.

New licenses with the National College Athletics Association and the Association of Research Libraries will also expand the full text found in this database. Additional statistics from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the World Trade Organization will soon be accessible via LexisNexis Statistical.
