The FCCJ has begun offering members a substantial discount on subscriptions to LexisNexis' news database service, Nexis.com, and already a number of members have signed up for the comprehensive news and information database.

The members-only deal allows for flat-rate access at 7,900 yen per month - offering big savings on a service that normally costs 126,000 yen per month.

The FCCJ rate allows for "all you can eat" access, with no per-document charges for access news or database items available.

The service will be billed by the Club, accounts are available for a minimum 6-month period. The FCCJ benefits from all subscriptions sold under this arrangement.
