This How Do I tip begins with a Why Do I prelude. Googling and Yahooing is second nature to online searchers. But vast as is the ocean of information available via the search engines, there are worlds of information beyond that ocean’s shores. To access this extraGoogle world, you need to visit gatekeepers like LexisNexis.
The barrier separating LexisNexis et al from Google-land is cost. You have to pay to play.
However, you can glimpse the world beyond Google at no charge. I discovered this by accident. While researching something else, I ran across the following …
“Freebies: Yes, you can get something for nothing at LexisNexis, but it takes a bit of doing. LexisNexis has a Pay-as-You-Go page, where you can set up an account with a credit card, and then buy individual articles and other information at a few bucks a pop. It's a convenient, useful and not very well-known way of accessing their content. If you sign-up, you can then search their content at no charge, and get bits and pieces of information back for free...you only pay if you then go ahead and access the full article. It's well worth the hassle.”
