ProQuest Newsstand™ lets librarians create an online newspaper resource that meets the needs of their library’s patrons. Customers can choose to receive a selection of major national papers, or create customized state and regional packages.
The core of the database is the Major Newspapers collection, which includes national and leading regional papers such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA TODAY, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, The Atlanta Journal- Constitution, Barron's, The Boston Globe, The Guardian, The Christian Science Monitor, and The Washington Post
ProQuest Newsstand’s detailed indexing helps researchers quickly find the news information they need. The indexing covers not only complete bibliographic information but also subjects, companies, people, products, and geographic areas
Each issue of every newspaper is indexed thoroughly, so your patrons have access to not only top news stories but also detailed information on the arts, sports, business, and popular culture. Even such items as editorials, editorial cartoons, obituaries, and letters to the editor from well-known people are indexed
Additionally, ProQuest Newsstand is fully cross-searchable with other important ProQuest® products including ABI/INFORM®.
For each article cited in the database, an abstract helps the researcher know if the complete text will meet his or her needs. Abstracting and indexing are available for more than 500 papers; of these, 350 papers are available in full text.
