Using the improved version of ProQuest Direct electronic full-text database, you can now search the full text of nine important newspapers, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Christian Science Monitor, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, and USA Today. ProQuest Direct can be used in the Library, or it can be accessed currently in residence halls and other network locations through the Library web page at http://depts.drew.edu/lib/ejrnls.html.
