Changes to the design of O'Keefe The Law of Weights and Measures

You may notice some minor changes to the look of the pages included in this service update. These changes have occurred because LexisNexis is introducing a standard design across its portfolio of print titles. Once this process has been completed, the vast majority of LexisNexis titles will be structured and laid out to the standard design, which has been developed by editorial staff to meet demanding specifications and to ensure that the functionality and special features of all of our titles will be retained. The standard design will benefit subscribers who use several LexisNexis print products on a regular basis, as the use, look and feel of all our products will be the same. Subscribers will no longer have to learn to navigate their way around several titles with different structures and designs, but will work with one predictable structure and layout for all LexisNexis titles. The new standard design has been developed to give a cleaner look to each page, introducing more white space, which makes it easier to read through text quickly.

The prices of the service updates

Please be reassured that the higher production costs involved will be borne by LexisNexis and will not be passed on to the subscribers. If you have any queries about the changes to the look or structure of your title, please ask our Customer Services department to refer your query to the editorial contact for your title.
