Did you know you can change the way you view a NEWS cite list on lexis.com?

In the past the cite list format for NEWS searches listed the content in the following order:  publication name, date, word count, title of article (see example below):

Legal Week, August 25, 2005, 2388 words, National News: (US) Combine and conquer US national firm mergers, Ed Thornton; ed.thornton@legalweek.com

And while we have become accustomed to reviewing results in this format, it can be taxing on the eyes, as we often have to scan the cite list to find out the title of the article.

The new cite list reorders the information and puts the title of the article first.
(See example below):

National News: (US) Combine and conquer US national firm mergers, Legal Week, August 25, 2005, 2388 words, Ed Thornton; ed.thornton@legalweek.com

To view the new cite list, simply click on the Hide Hits link located in the upper middle part of the screen after you run your NEWS search.
