NOTE: Before you go interview the person, do some
research on them so you can focus your questions. Go to Lexis-Nexis Academic,
go to Guided News, and then select U.S. News in News Category, and California
News in News Source. Enter the individual as your search term and select ALL
Available Dates under Date Range. Then click on the Search button. (See Lexis-Nexis
Academic example)

Example of searching on Lexis-Nexis Academic Universe
Go to Guided News, and then select the options as shown. If you get a screen that says you are getting over a 1,000 hits narrow your search to the "last five years" in "date range." You do not have to list a publication title on the bottom, however, keep in mind that San Jose Mercury News and Contra Costa Times are not in Lexis-Nexis Academic Universe (most other newspapers are). NOTE: Lexis-Nexis Academic is available on campus only.
