An extensive global, yet local, record Usage statistics show that students use locally published and in-state news sources more than any other. Such news sources-- which form a written history of events as they occur--are the core of Access World News: Research Collection. They compose a unique record of people, issues and events as perceived by local communities across the country and around the world. The authoritative content and first-person perspectives found in these sources meet a variety of research and curricular needs. Students and faculty benefit from analysis of multiple perspectives from newspapers, magazines, broadcast transcripts, newswires and journalist-written blogs.

Providing easy access to more than 665 million current and archived articles, Access World News: Research Collection enables students and faculty alike to maximize their research potential. The collection's unmatched depth and comprehensive coverage simplify background research, comparative and content analysis; class discussions; speeches, debates, research papers and dissertations; tracking an event or topic over time; and comparing issues both chronologically and geographically.

Intuitive interface and search navigators With NewsBank's intuitive interface and powerful search capabilities, students of all levels can pinpoint useful information and navigate quickly and efficiently through millions of articles--all without any special training. The capability to sort and group results by date, location, source type and more makes it easy to compare and contrast perspectives, discern patterns and trends, and track information. Other benefits include citation-exporting tools, map-based searching and more.
