ProQuest Newsstand™ lets librarians create an online newspaper resource that meets the needs of their library's patrons.  Customers can choose to receive a selection of major national newspapers, or create customized state and regional packages.

The core of the database includes international, national and regional papers such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Washington Post, The Guardian, El Norte, Jerusalem Post, and Bangkok Post.

ProQuest Newsstand's detailed indexing helps researchers quickly find the news information they need.  The indexing covers not only complete bibliographic information but also subjects, companies, people, products, and geographic areas.

Each issue of every newspaper is indexed thoroughly, so your patrons have access to not only top news stories but also detailed information on the arts, sports, business, and popular culture.  Even such items as editorials, editorial cartoons, obituaries, and letters to the editor from well know people are indexed.

Additionally, ProQuest Newsstand is fully cross-searchable with other important ProQuest products including ABI/INFORM®.

For each article cited in the database, an abstract helps the researcher know if the complete text will meet his or her needs.  Abstracting and indexing are available for the more than 500 newspapers in ProQuest Newsstand; of these, over 350 are full text.
