CMR 244: Current Events
What to Know
While a lot of business news is available online, you may encounter a 'pay wall' for some articles (you are blocked after viewing an article X number of times unless you are a subscriber.) The following news and current events databases are subscription-based, but Miami University has already paid for access. These should all provide full text articles from newspapers, magazines, peer-reviewed-scholarly sources, and more.

Search Tip: Use the Find It! Button
When you search a database for a "Full Text" item, you are only searching through that particular database for the document in full-text, and not our entire collection. An item may exist as a "Full Text" selection within a different database.
If you don't find an item as full-text in the database you're searching, use the 
button to cross-search other databases for that same item. You may discover that we have electronic access to that material after all.
If the button does NOT lead you to the full- text, you can order the article for FREE through Interlibrary Loan. The article will be emailed to you, usually in just a few days. You can also email ME and I will help you look for it.
