Frequently Used Resources

Wall Street Journal
Leading newspaper for international business news. UCSD gets the current day's content of the WSJ in three ways: WSJ.com site license, WSJ Proquest and via the News Pages of Factiva. Use the Proquest interface if you want a precise search for a topic; use the Factiva News Pages version if you want to access to graphics and downloadable audio content. Proquest offers article alerts to your email and can search back to 1980. If you need access to WSJ content older than that, or full page images, use the WSJ Historical database.
