After trying Newsstand please leave your comments below. You can choose the anonymous option to comment without needing to have a Blogger account, but it helps if you include your name in your feedback so that we can follow up on comments. Do get in touch, we really want to know what you think about this resource.

Library PressDisplay now mobile-optimised

Library PressDisplay provides full-text coverage of the latest 60 days' copies of hundreds of newspapers around the world, including dozens from the UK.

 

Until now though, it has been impossible to use an a mobile device. The site would detect that you were using a mobile device and automatically send you to the mobile version of the commercial PressDisplay site, where you would need a personal subscription to view any full-text content.

 

Library PressDisplay now has a proper mobile-optimized site. If you follow one of the library's links to a Library PressDisplay newspaper on a mobile device then, after logging in to EZproxy, you will be taken to the Library PressDisplay mobile site where you can successfully view newspapers and newspaper articles, as the screenshots below, using an iPad, show:

FT Intelligence replaced by ProQuest International Newsstand

When we were busily updating our links to the new ProQuest platform we noticed something unexpected called ProQuest International Newsstand.

It turned out that the FT Intelligence site (home to the last 10 years - bar the current day - of the FT) was also being discontinued and instead we had access to ProQuest International Newsstand instead. This includes the Financial Times back to 1996 - bar the current day - and also includes over 450 other newspapers and newswires (mostly only going back a year or two admittedly).

If current news is your thing then you might find ProQuest International Newsstand a useful addition to our resources (in additional to Lexis LIbrary, Westlaw and Library PressDisplay).

See our e-newspapers page for full details of the newspaper sites we can access. BTW, we still have access to the Financial Times Historical Archive 1888-2006, part of the Gale NewsVault.

We will add catalogue records for the newspapers in ProQuest International Newsstand in due course, and activate them in SFX / find it @ liverpool.
