    Dear Law Students,

    95% of the 200 UK Law Firms currently use LexisNexis as one of their main legal databases. Therefore, especially in climate where traineeships and placements are hard to come by, it is important that students know how to properly use LexisNexis!

    So show firms you are clued up by getting the certificate to prove it!
    I am holding certification sessions designed to teach you all the tips and tricks of LexisNexis and allow you to gain a LexisLibrary Basic User Certificate.

    It is now more important than ever that students make themselves stand out from the crowd when applying for those elusive traineeships and summer placements. So show them what you have got by getting the certificate to prove it!

    Next week I am holding certification sessions designed to teach you all the tips and tricks of LexisNexis and allow you to gain a LexisLibrary Basic User Certificate.

If you have been looking for me at a drop-in that is not on, I do apologize! Please remember I can always be contacted via my e-mail (0906416b@student.gla.ac.uk).

    Also, I will also be on FB chat today from now until 12:30pm. Just send me a message if you have any queries regarding LexisNexis or any other research issues!
