Exploring within Content Types

In addition to searching, you can also 'Explore' the different 'Content Types' available in Lexis+.  For example, you may want to browse a list of all the book titles available, or just a list of those relating to a specifc 'Topic' (Figure 1). Equally, you might wish to locate the journals list and drill down by title to find articles published in a particular volume and issue of a journal.

When you have located a book title, clicking on the title presents the list of contents and appendix, each entry of which you can click on to access the full text. 

Whilst reading a particular chapter of a book, the 'Table of Contents' remains in the left hand navigation bar to allow you to jump to other chapters or appendix as you need to (Figure 2)

Browsing the journal list allows you to find a specific journal title, publication year, volume so you can explore all the articles published within a specific issue (Figure 3).

Clicking on a specific article title will display the full text of that journal article, whilst again allowing you to continue browsing in the left hand navigation pane (Figure 4).
