AFTER UPGRADING TO a new platform several months ago, Lexis+ UK (formerly known as LexisLibrary) is now planning to stop redirecting any old LexisLibrary links to Lexis+ UK on Sunday 21 April.
Before this date, please consider using the redirect to update LexisLibrary links you may have bookmarked, as any of these links will return error messages such as “Service Unavailable” or “Unfortunately we can’t find the page you’re looking for” after the service is decommissioned. LexisLibrary links have ‘www.lexisnexis.com’ as part of their URL, while new Lexis+ links use ‘plus.lexis.com’.
Past April 21, accessing these resources from outdated bookmarks will require to manually search for them in the new platform, and create new bookmarks from permalinks in Lexus+ UK if you wish to save them again.
If you have bookmarked old LexisLibrary links and need assistance in updating them, please get in touch with the library.
A scheduled system maintenance period for the Box of Broadcasts (BoB) platform will begin Tuesday 16th April 2024 at 07:00
