2) LEXIS-NEXIS - Athens
--------------------
In response to numerous queries LEXIS-NEXIS Europe has provided a
statement
regarding the official position and estimated timeline for implementing
the
Athens Access Management System for LEXIS-NEXIS Executive.
Reminder: LEXIS-NEXIS Executive is the replacement product set for FT
Discovery. It is hoped that the amendment for this replacement will be
finalised shortly and new information and paperwork will be added to the
CHEST
website.
(Extract from LEXIS-NEXIS Europe)
"LEXIS-NEXIS Europe intends to provide access to its Professional and
Executive products via the Athens Access Management System . Usage of
individual IDs to these services will allow students to set their own
preferences with regard to document views, source shortcuts, favourite
searches etc. It is anticipated that this facility will be provided
during
the early part of 2001."
