Introduction

The library subscribes to many databases which cover various subject areas.  To find information from newspapers and in the media, the following two databases will assist you.

Factiva is an abstract/full text newspaper database.  It is available on all campuses and also offcampus.  A limit of 10 simultaneous users of this database applies.  If  all ten licences are being used, you will see an error message. Try again later.



See Factiva tutorial

 


TV News  is a database which indexes Australian television news, current affairs and selected documentaries from the free to air networks with links to the digitized video content in a compressed format.  All individual stories from a particular broadcast are indexed with a detailed synopsis.  TVNews is updated daily, with stories appearing on an evening news broadcast generally being available for access the next morning.
