SEARCH TIPS
•Quotation Marks
Keep search phrases together with quotation marks: for example "affordable housing." If you type two or more words without quotation marks, results will include articles where both words appear randomly.
•Truncation
Use an asterisk * to expand your search to variations of a word. Example: histor* will include history, histories, historical, historically
•Publication Title
Open the "Anywhere" box on the right of the search box and select Publication Title if you want to search through a particular newspaper or magazine (e.g. New York Amsterdam News).
Click on Publications on the upper left hand of the Proquest Newsstand banner to browse or search a list of all publications in the collection.
•Document Type
On the Advanced Search page, scroll down to select Document Type if you are looking for a specific genre of article, e.g. Interview or Letter to the Editor
•On the Results page use the menu on the left to select:
•Source Type (newspaper, magazine, etc), Publication Date or a Subject facet.
•You can also Sort your results list by date (most recent first or oldest first)
•NOTE: The Proquest platform interface is hosting a large number of current and historical newspaper and magazine collections - most search tips above apply across the board to all Proquest collections.
•Use Advanced Options to set a date range and select sources.
•Use Search the News box for news searches by Source Type (e.g. Broadcast Transcripts) or Source Title (e.g. New York Times)
