Ethnic NewsWatch, described by Proquest as "a current resource of full-text newspapers, magazines, and journals of the ethnic and minority press, providing researchers access to essential, often overlooked perspectives. It may be combined with Ethnic NewsWatch: A History™ which provides historical coverage of Native American, African American, and Hispanic American periodicals from 1959-1989. Together, these resources present an unmatched, comprehensive, full-text collection of more than 2.5 million articles from over 340 publications. Perhaps the most valuable aspect of the resources is the inclusion of unique community publications not found in any other database, as well as top scholarly journals on ethnicities and ethnic studies," is currently being considered for acquisition by the UI&U Library, and we'd like your feedback before we commit to a full subscription.
In order to gain user insight and feedback, The UI&U library will be running a trial of Ethnic NewsWatch until August 16, 2012. The trial can be accessed here.
If you feel that this database would be a valuable addition to UI&U's collection, please let us know. We appreciate your feedback and want to provide the best resources available for all of our patrons.
