Results List

Results lists may look a little differently depending on how you performed your search. Typically though the list will look similar to what you see on EBSCO interfaces.

Your item title is the link to item information and the item's contents. Underneath the link is a snippet of information to give you something prior to opening the item.

On the left, there are additional filters to help you narrow your results. 

At the top, there are a number of results tools such as a permanent link to the results, adding materials to Google Drive, and a printer-friendly view.

Permanent links provided in Nexis Uni do not provide you the link prefix that enables off-campus access. For more information on permanent links, visit our Using Persistent Links Guide.
