This week we're beginning a series of posts to let you know about the fantastic range of databases which are available through our Swansea UWTSD library website.
Databases are online, organized collections of information. You can access them at anytime of the day or night, through any device with an internet connection! Word of warning though, to benefit from the material available through the databases, you will need to access them through the library website and our Databases A-Z list.
We are beginning our series with the database NewsBank.
NewsBank
You may have noticed that we have recently acquired a brand new newspaper database called NewsBank. NewsBank is a database which includes newspapers such as The Times and Financial Times, as well as local newspapers, for example the South Wales Evening Post and the Western Mail. In fact, NewsBank features more than 700 local, regional and national news sources from England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland and Wales. There’s even a map of the U.K., so that you can research by country.

NewsBank also has a section featuring special reports which
focus upon topics of current interest. These reports contain content from
sources throughout the world to provide a global perspective, current and
background information, statistics, maps, images, websites, and suggested
search terms.
So, why not have a look and if you would like help accessing
NewsBank, your subject librarians will be happy to help!
