In the most recent LexisNexis digital library release, we added a new Share button that you'll see in multi-volume searches next to borrowed volumes.
When you select Share, you copy a link to the passage that you can share with your colleagues. If the person you're sharing the passage with hasn't borrowed the title, they'll be prompted to check it out (or place it on hold).
You can find additional information about a title on your LexisNexis digital library by going to its details page. To go to a title's details page, click or tap beneath the title, then select More info.
Or, select the title of the book to access its details page from search results.
On the details page, you'll have options to Borrow or Place a Hold on the title, read or listen to a sample, save the title to your list, share the title, and more.
If the title is part of a set, you'll be able to search the full text of the set to find the volume you need before borrowing.
The details page also includes the following information for each title, when applicable:
