The Factiva database, a product of Dow Jones and Reuters, is now available in the Library’s package of databases. It can be found on the Library Home Page, under “Find Articles”, in the alphabetical list, in the business subject menu, and in the list of new databases. The most important component of the database is the full-text of the Wall Street Journal, but that is only one of 1500 global and local newspapers, 3200 magazines, 500 newswires, 160 media programs, and thousands of Web sites included in Factiva. The database provides company background information from Reuters for more than 42,500 companies. The database is fully searchable by source, company name, industry, region of the world, and time period, using nine different language interfaces, and content is available in more than 20 different languages. An excellent (and brief) online tutorial is available. One important note: The databases is licensed to Temple University Libraries for only SEVEN (7) simultaneous users. This is a significant addition to the Library’s resources, and an important source for business news and information. In addition, the database includes many resources in other disciplines, with numerous journals in the fields of health care, tourism and recreation, sports, the arts (music, film, dance, crafts, literature), agriculture and forestry, and the media, all with global coverage. —Barbara Wright
