Our August edition has all the regular features from News & Business and Professional Development, plus a great free whitepaper and a 25% discount on selected books.

LexisNexis works hard to support the community through a number of local, national and international initiatives. For example, last month we were the proud sponsor of the Australasian Law Teachers’ Association award for 'excellence or innovation in the teaching of law'. We are delighted to announce that the 2008 winner is Des Butler, from the Queensland University of Technology School of Law.

The world of teaching is at a pivotal point of change. The way content is being used in an online environment means the traditional thinking towards teaching is being challenged. In order to meet this challenge we need to be flexible enough to identify and to adopt new ways of thinking around how we work in the classroom. This is exactly what Des has achieved, so all credit to him.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind you about the well received new 'Copy Link' feature in LexisNexis AU. This allows you to create a direct link to a document or search result. You can then copy the link and email it to your colleagues for convenient access; saving you time and removing the need to replicate searches. What’s more - it’s easy. You don’t need to be a computer programmer…. just copy, select and paste!
