Factiva Trial: Your Comments are Encouraged
The Libraries currently have access to Factiva.com on a trial basis. Factiva combines the Dow Jones Interactive� and Reuters Business Briefing databases, offering users the latest news from these leading business resources. Coverage is from 1989 to the present. Quoting from the information sheet on this database, “Patrons gain access to a wide range of information from newspapers, newswires, industry publications, websites, company reports, and more, available from 118 countries in 22 languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Turkish.”
