Lexis-Nexis Business Database Out of Order

Many features of the Lexis-Nexis Business database are not currently working. The vendor is aware of the problem and is working on it. Apparently, it's quite serious, because they estimate it will be a week or so before the database is fully functional again. Sorry for the inconvenience, and we'll post another message when the problem has been corrected.
