Miami Computing & Information Services (MCIS) wishes to publicly express its
thanks to the University Libraries for assuming management of the Miami
University community's access to Mead Data Central's LEXIS / NEXIS database
services effective Monday, 21 March 1994.
* For several years, access to LEXIS / NEXIS has been provided through the
MCIS OpenVMS platform (MiaVX1 and more recently, OCEAN). While Mead Data
Central's contract with MCIS has always specified that LEXIS / NEXIS
access must be used only for directly course-related research purposes,
there has not been an enforcement mechanism in place through MCIS to
ensure compliance with the terms of the contract.
* Effective 15 March 1994, Mead Data Central cancelled its contract with
MCIS, citing our failure to enforce appropriate use of their databases,
and terminated MCIS access to LEXIS / NEXIS.
* The University Libraries have for some time had a separate contract with
Mead Data Central to provide on-site LEXIS / NEXIS database access from
the Reference and Document areas of King Library and the Science Library
in Hughes Laboratories on the Oxford campus.
* MCIS and the University Libraries were in the process of planning the
transfer of all LEXIS / NEXIS access to the Libraries at the end of this
semester, when MCIS' contract was terminated by Mead last week.
* The Libraries agreed, on very short notice, to assume University wide
responsibility for access to LEXIS / NEXIS, thus assuring virtually
uninterrupted access, albeit through different means.
MCIS thanks the University Libraries for stepping in to maintain the Miami
University community's access to these important remote database resources.

Libraries should be directed to:
