If you need help with anything specific or just a general run down of how to use LexisNexis, don’t hesitate to come and see me or drop me an email on nikitta.strongman@northumbria.ac.uk I will be holding drop in sessions at the back of the 1st floor law hub at City Campus East every Tuesday from the 4th October between 12 -2. If you are not available at this time then just email me and we can organise another appropriate time for you. Alternatively, if you’ve just got a quick and simple question you can email me with your query. See you soon! NikittaBlog
