Trial Databases

The following resources are being used on a trial basis. This is an evaluation period and does not guarantee that these resources will be purchased.

Access World News - Newsbank Research Collection - current and archived news content from almost 4,000 sources. Online access to local, in-state, national and international news sources including newspapers, broadcast transcripts, newswiress, newsblogs, and web-only content and video. IP recognition is utlized for access to this product.

***To access the trial databases that use IP recognition you must go through the FHSU server to be authenticated. That means you must either use computers on campus, use FHSU as your Internet service provider, or go through the proxy server. Most students accessing the databases from outside the Hays area will need to use the proxy server. Instructions for how to use the proxy server are available at the CTC Help Desk. You must also activate your Scatcat e-mail account before using the proxy server.

**When passwords are required for access, they are sent by e-mail to faculty and students when new trials begin. If you do not have a password please go to the reference desk and they will help you with the password. You must bring your FHSU ID card with you. If you telephone, please call Nona at 785-628-5262; you will need your social security number. There will be a delay while your status is verified, but we will contact you with a password as soon as possible.
