Nexis & Factiva Tips

Pros:

• Both Nexis Uni and Factiva contain many news sources with up-to-present coverage
• These provide access to many publications we may not otherwise be able to fund

Cons:

• Both databases can be tricky to search
• Articles in both databases are HTML only and do not include images, graphs, charts, etc. that may have appeared in original article

Suggestions:

• Begin a title search through the eJournal list on the library homepage rather than from the A-Z Database list. In the case of Nexis Uni, this will pre-limit your search to that specific publication, which is helpful.
• Try the "News Pages" feature in Factiva to see front page news from recent publications of several key newspapers
