| Ethnic
NewsWatch is an interdisciplinary, bilingual
(English and Spanish) and
comprehensive
full text database of the newspapers,
magazines and journals of the ethnic,
minority and native press. Designed
to
provide the "other side of the story,"
ENW titles offer additional viewpoints
from those proffered by the mainstream
press. Coverage begins in 1990. |

This
is the main page, where you will begin
your search.
This looks a lot like ProQuest and the
interface is very similar. The Search
method is also the same and so for further
instructions, please go to the Proquest
Tutorial
There are a few differences that we will
highlight here. For example, take
a look at the Database field: It says
Ethnic NewsWatch. That is not included
in the regular ProQuest. There is
also an "Ethnic Group" field as well.
Again, something not included in
the regular ProQuest. You can also
limit results to "Biographical (Personal
Profiles)."

Ethnic
NewsWatch allows you to limit your results
by a publication representing
the ethnic groups that are listed in
the
drop down menu. The groups are listed
alphabetically. You might want to
use this find articles from a particular
ethnic perspective.

| Biographical
(Personal Profiles) |
|
Biographical (personal profiles) - The Biographical
Profiles check box lets you limit your search
to articles that contain biographical information.
When this box is checked, the string AND
SUB(personal profiles) is added to your
search as a limiter. |
