University of Notre Dame students, faculty, and staff now have full digital access to The Wall Street Journal, provided by the Hesburgh Libraries.
“The Wall Street Journal is one of the more important and widely read news outlets in the country, especially for business information,” said Pete Pietraszewski, Entrepreneurial Spirit Endowed Business Librarian. “Students, faculty, and staff from any discipline across the entire campus will now be able to consume Wall Street Journal content directly from the WSJ website and mobile app. This new, more efficient access method will provide important information, news, and commentary for coursework, research, and professional development.”
Until recently, access to many business-related publications, including magazines, newspapers, and journals, has been through aggregators like Factiva or Business Source Complete, both of which are available in the Hesburgh Libraries database collection. Pietraszewski noted that many publishers have changed how and to whom they license their content, making it necessary for the Libraries to flex how they provide continued access to campus. Librarians from the Hesburgh Libraries work continuously to maintain and grow access to important resources as the landscape changes.
