Why Do I … Search LexisNexis

Oil majors like ExxonMobil, ChevronTexaco, and Saudi Aramco, subscribe to lots of commercial online information sources, including LexisNexis. Why? One … the oil business requires a broad range of talent, including technical, legal, accounting, recruiting, security, oil trading, human resources, and public relations. LexisNexis makes it easy for people in all these areas to stay on top of the news that helps them do their job.

Oil majors can afford to pay for site licenses for their employees. Smaller companies and independents have to be more selective.

OK, fine … but why should you, a desulfurization expert, care about news? Because searching for desulfurization on a news database helps you follow developments in desulfurization technology that you can then research in more technically oriented sources.

If your company provides access to LexisNexis, either directly through a site license or indirectly through its corporate library, take advantage of it. If your company does not provide access, LexisNexis offers a pay-as-you-go option ... visit http://web.lexis.com/xchange/ccsubs/cc_prods.asp
