From now until Feb. 28th, the Arkansas Tech community is invited to help us test-drive a newspaper database called NewspaperDirect. Featuring the digital editions of over 2,000 newspapers from around the world, this database allows you to search for news, sports, weather, and photographs published in the last 60 days. Browse photographs, subscribe to RSS feeds, and share stories via email. Search for specific topics within a specific range, or browse by country and date. Read the online edition of the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, including classifieds and editorials. Don’t have time to read? Open the Interactive Radio icon and listen to the news via Windows Media Player.
During the trial period, the librarians at Arkansas Tech would like your feedback to help us shop for the best databases. So try it out and tell us what you think. Send your comments, suggestions, complaints, or compliments to Carol Hanan or just use the comment field below to tell us if you think this database is newsworthy.
