If you study or work at UMD, you do not need to create a separate user account in order to access Nexis Uni. This library link takes you to UMD's secure sign-on page, which grants you full (and anonymous) access to the database.

However, creating an individual account will let you save searches, share results with other users, and set up alerts for new content. You can also adjust your default settings to display and download more search results at a time. Here's how:

  1. Open Nexis Uni.
  2. Click Sign In | Register at the top right of the homepage.
  3. On the right side of the page (if on a computer), click Create a Profile (red button).
