Searching
for articles in Factiva
LSU
Libraries subscribes to the Wall Street Journal. Full text is available on line
through Factiva.
For
complete instructions on using Factiva please see this link- http://www.factiva.com/collateral/files/factivacom_insideoutguide_jul2007.pdf
These
are simple instructions for searching for articles in the Wall Street Journal.
(You can also use this method to browse or search for the many other
publications in Factiva. A source list is available on the Factiva home page in
“tools” on the top of the page.) The best way to get to Factiva is to go to
“indexes and databases” (top of the library page) and scroll to Factiva under
“F”. You can also search the online catalog for Periodical Title, Wall Street Journal,
browse. (This will take you to Factiva, not the Wall Street
Journal.)
When
you get to Factiva, click the box that says “SOURCE” and type in Wall Street Journal,
then click the little arrow to the right of the search box.
You
will get several Wall Street Journal results- click on the names of all of the
titles that apply-

The
selected titles will be added to your search. Be sure to change the date field
to include your needed date range, or choose “all dates” if you are unsure. You
can then type in the text search box at the top and it will only search the
selected sources.

Add
terms to your search if you get too many results, or remove terms if you are
not getting enough results.
The
default search is “free text”- you can search for article titles, authors, or keywords.
