Foster Business Library hours this weekend: Saturday, 9am-5pm; Sunday, 1-9pm; Monday, Memorial Day, 1-5pm.
Two "new" article databases have been added to the Foster Business Library database roster, ProQuest Databases and ProQuest Newspapers. ProQuest Databases is actually the all-databases option that has been available via ABI/Inform Global via a two-step procedure for several years. Going directly to ProQuest Databases saves you those two extra steps and provides access to the latest, newest version of this family of over three dozen databases, encompassing over 10,000 scholarly journals, magazines, trade publications, and newspapers, with most articles available in full text, on your computer, from on-campus or off-campus.
ProQuest Newspapers provides access to full text articles in over 600 newspapers, replacing (but including) longtime databases National Newspapers (with 27 U.S. newspapers) and Washington State Newsstand (with 18 state and regional newspapers). The ProQuest Newspapers database includes the New York Times and Wall Street Journal; all of its content is also included in ProQuest Databases. It's also easy to limit your searches in ProQuest Newspapers to just national or Washington state newspapers, if that is your preference.
