ProQuest has launched access to a collection of current Middle Eastern newspapers, available through a single interface designed to meet the needs of increasingly diverse library communities, libraries in the Middle East, and students and faculty studying the Middle East region. ProQuest's Middle East Newsstand aggregates content from more than 30 newspapers that cover the Middle East region. This new resource expands ProQuest's offering of international newspapers, providing a more global view of major events and access to local news in the Middle East region.
Each issue of every newspaper is indexed, so researchers have access to detailed information on politics, business, and the arts around the world. Citations and abstracts are available for all articles.
This database is available on the ProQuest platform. Subscribers can cross-search Middle East Newsstand with their other ProQuest Newsstand subscriptions. The ProQuest platform provides the flexibility to search in English or utilise the Arabic or French interface.
Middle East Newsstand is one of a variety of resources aimed at offering a total news solution for libraries. ProQuest's news programme includes more than 700 current newspapers from around the world, including over 550 full-text titles. ProQuest Historical Newspapers encompasses 20 million pages dating from 1764. Library PressDisplay provides libraries with same-day direct access to more than 700 current international and domestic dailies in full-image, full-page format, and Critical Mention, a web-based television and radio search and monitoring service that allows users to search, track and view critical information from over 150 news networks.
