Abstract ABSTRACT: This paper describes the results of a survey of accounting educators as to their awareness, access to and usage of the LEXIS document retrieval system. A majority of the respondents have a general familiarity with the system, but access and use are quite limited. Accounting educators currently utilize LEXIS more as an occasional research source than for either course development or "hands-on" student use.
