ProQuest Digital Microfilm Brings Page Images to Your Desktop

The Cheng Library is pleased to announce that from 2011 it has replaced microfilm archiving of Barron's, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal with "digital microfilm" accessible through an online database. ProQuest Digital Microfilm offers high-quality, cover-to-cover page images from all three publications, including all graphics, advertisements and other features from the print editions. Although the database does not support searching of any kind, it can be used in conjunction with other databases that index Barron's, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal so you can obtain the citation information needed to view a specific page image. Our subscription to ProQuest Digital Microfilm currently provides the backfiles of Barron's, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal to January 2008.
