New York Times - Sunday Print Edition

Due to budget constraints and low use the library will not be renewing our subscription to the Sunday New York Times; July 12th will be our last issue. Note that for a variety of reasons we have not had a subscription to the daily print edition.

The text of articles from the New York Times (Late Edition, East Coast)
may be read via ProQuest, apparently sooner than the issues hit newstands in New York. Content is also available from their ad-supported site, http://www.nytimes.com.

ProQuest also offers full color PDFs for articles from the New York Times Book Review and the New York Times Magazine, which came with our Sunday edition and will also no longer be available in print at the CBC Library.

Spokesman Review Drops Us

We have been informed that the Spokesman Review will discontinue our subscription as of July 15, 2009; they no longer provide mail delivery. The full text of the articles are available on ProQuest, although it appears to take several days to get loaded into the database. More recent content is available at their ad-supported homepage http://www.spokesman.com/.

Seattle Times - Subscription Dropped

The library has decided not to renew our subscription to the Seattle Times, which we started getting when the Seattle Post-Intelligencer ceased publication in March 2009. The Seattle Times full text was removed from ProQuest in January 2009 and indexing only runs to October 1, 2008. Free, searchable full text is available at the Times ad-supported website. We will receive our last print issue June 30th 2009 and retain the June issues until the end of July.

Christian Science Monitor

The Christian Science Monitor announced in October that it is changing format, effective April 2009. Articles will continue to be published daily online, but the print edition will be issued weekly instead of daily.

The CBC Library received our last daily print edition on March 27th (available at Circulation) and has just received the first weekly print edition, dated April 12 2009, available on our Magazine browsing racks.

EBSCOhost appears to have ceased coverage as of 3/27/09. ProQuest continues to offer full text, but coverage is incomplete and it is not known if the weekly will be included.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer - ceased publication

Tuesday 3/17/2009 is the last print issue of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. It is not clear at this point whether the new digital-only PI will continue to be included in ProQuest.

Beginning Wednesday 3/18/2009 the library will instead receive the daily Seattle Times in print. This is a direct substitution from the vendor; the library will evaluate this when the subscription comes due. The Seattle Times is no longer indexed by ProQuest and all full text was removed.

U.S. News & World Report

As of February 2009 U.S. News & World Report is a monthly print publication; Brian Kelly elaborates "The Continuing Evolution of U.S. News" [2/1/2009, Vol. 146 Issue 1, p5]. No issues appeared in January.

Full text coverage in EBSCOhost and ProQuest continues for the monthly, but the subscriber-only digital edition is not included.

PC Magazine

January 2009 is the last print edition of PC Magazine. Content will now be available exclusively online. The library will not subscribe to the digital edition, which repackages the free online content.

JAMA

The most recent five years of JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, are available in print at the Richland campus and online at the Pasco campus on one computer, Reference 1, located in the alcove between the computer assistance and senior secretary's desks. This is a reduction in online availability due to more restrictive licensing from the publisher. Older issues continue to be available for free online.

ProQuest loses Seattle Times coverage

"Effective January 1, 2009, ProQuest will no longer distribute full-text ASCII content from The Seattle Times in its current newspaper products. However, abstracts and indexing for The Seattle Times will remain. This means that full-text Seattle Times content (both current and backfile) will be removed from the ProQuest Washington Newsstand database on that date." WALIBSDL November 05, 2008 12:36 PM
