The new My Lexis page, a tab within the lexis.com® service, includes new features that allow users to search multiple sources from a single location and see results organized by category. My Lexis encourages users to create a custom search section, with the ability to add, remove and re-arrange a selection of LexisNexis research components.

What we've delivered in My Lexis is a way for professionals to start with the tools they want and get the results they need quickly and easily," said Ann Fullenkamp, senior vice president and publisher at LexisNexis.
Specifically, the new features of My Lexis include:
