Proquest Digital Microfilm Trial

http://trials.proquest.com/pqte/cust/trial.do?userid=3140200#3140201

           password: hello

ProQuest Digital Microfilm provides scanned newspapers in microfilm, accessible around the clock via an intuitive, easy to use, online interface. Researchers can access full-page, cover-to-cover newspaper content from anywhere an internet connection is present. Digital Microfilm allows multiple, simultaneous users from subscribing libraries to scroll through the scanned microfilm as they would with standard microfilm equipment, or they can access the content using metadata: newspaper title, date, and page numbers. Digital Microfilm also allows users to print, crop, email, or save images for later reference. Additionally, Digital Microfilm offers two image resolutions: lower resolution for quick scrolling and navigation, and a higher resolution to make the most of charts and photographs. IUP has access through this trial to all available Digital Microfilm titles from ProQuest.  We currently subscribe to the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal in traditional microfilm format.
This trial is in effect until November 12, 2009.
