<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">We switched to Uni in December. The search experience has not improved; I have heard from reference staff that the search experience is actually worse. For
weeks, we have had the problem where linking into Uni from another resource (e.g., our discovery layer) for full text prompts the user to sign in—as if it is not possible to use Uni anonymously. I believe this issue is resolved as of late yesterday, but we
are still testing. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I also feel linking at the article level does not work well. I was interested to see Kathleen’s note about the report that OpenURL linking at the article level
is not supported. That probably accounts for all our link failures, though I have to do some more testing to be sure.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Hi Melissa,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">We have swapped our LNA for Nexis Uni, I believe sometime last November, on our Databases A-Z list but I haven’t yet removed LNA from our Full Text Finder link
resolver/A-Z journals list for a couple of reasons. We still have access to both platforms and I’ve noticed that there’s some titles that are in LNA that are not in Nexis Uni. It also took a while for the links to work properly for Nexis Uni through the link
resolver and while it appears to be working now, I’m still a bit hesitant to remove LNA as a package. The downside (quite minor) is that if a title is available in both packages, they are both listed as access points so it’s a little redundant.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">As for users, I haven’t heard any comments from patrons or library staff that have had trouble with Nexis Uni but that doesn’t necessarily mean there hasn’t
been frustration or confusion or anything else going that needs to be addressed. I think we did a demo webinar for librarians and a heads up to library staff when we put up Nexis Uni on the Databases page.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">So for now, I’ll keep things as they are until I absolutely have to take LNA off as a package from the link resolver.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">We in Canada have been waiting for the US rollout of Nexis Uni (the replacement interface for LexisNexis Academic) for awhile and are now being asked if we'd like it this May or next May.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">In particular, is it stable, or are there still functionalities broken/unimplemented or are they still changing major aspects of the interface mid-year?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
