As Tim mentioned on Tuesday in his post review of subscriptions we are trialing NewsBank’s Access World News: research collection. This is a news collection which includes print and online newspapers, blogs, newswires, journals, broadcast transcripts and videos. The collection includes 120 New Zealand newspapers.
The database can be accessed here
A list of the titles included is here
The trial runs until Monday 6 August.
The Otago Daily Times and other Allied Press titles will be added to the collection and NewsBank has also secured agreements to provide image editions of the New Zealand Herald, the Dominion Post, the Press, the Waikato Times and the Otago Daily Times. It is likely these will be available next year.
Best news story on the whole site: https://infoweb.newsbank.com/apps/news/openurl?ctx_ver=z39.88-2004&rft_id=info%3Asid/infoweb.newsbank.com&svc_dat=AWNB&req_dat=B95EACDCF10B4F4D8E47B1BC4F1CA4E1&rft_val_format=info%3Aofi/fmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Actx&rft_dat=document_id%3Anews%252F15EB845A2461D7C0
