News from the Library!
A new database is available to UCW students
From now until March 8, our UCW library is trialing Access World News, an all-inclusive database of full-text newspapers. It features the majority of U.S. newspapers―from big names like The New York Times, right down to those hard-to-find local and regional titles.
So what does this mean for you? With access to this extensive collection of newspapers―and over 191 million current and archived news articles―you can add depth to your research assignments with facts and figures you may not have been able to find before.
This trial is open to all UCW students, faculty and staff. Login to your MyUCW, select “Library Resources” then “Database Trials.”
