This summer the Boston College Libraries acquired a subscription to The Wall Street Journal, making it possible for all current BC students, faculty and staff to register for their own online accounts.  The subscription includes a four-year archive and allows BC users to view The Wall Street Journal on a computer or mobile device. A similar subscription is available for the The Financial Times.

Additionally, many other newspapers’ articles can be accessed through several databases, including a new library subscription to the U.S. Major Dailies which includes articles from five major U.S. newspapers: Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post.  Coverage: 1980 to the present.
