Clover Publications re-launched the web version of its Newspaper and
magazine indexes under the name NewsAudit.com in October.
NewsAudit.com is hosted by NISS and can be accessed via our Athens
subscription service page at http://www.niss.ac.uk/lis/subscription.html
The publisher explains that as well as the new name, users will notice
significant service enhancements such as:
* 'Drop-in' links from the index to the full-text newspaper articles where
available on the Web. The data gleaned from the NewsAudit search also
helps you quickly find the full-text of the article concerned. See
www.cloverweb.co.uk/cloverq8.htm for further details.
* Using NewsAudit also saves you time by searching all the major quality
newspapers in one sweep - and should encourage students to scan a wider
range of newspapers than perhaps they would normally.
* The day-by-day scanning facility enables users to speedily find out all
the significant articles in a specific issue of a newspaper simply by
clicking a date on a calendar.
* Significant improvements have been made in the updating times and a
daily web news links service is planned for early 2002.
* Telephone support will now be directly through NewsAudit.
* Annual subscription charges have been lowered by about 25%. Please see
www.cloverweb.co.uk/cloverq8.htm for further details.
Orders for NewsAudit should be directed to Clover Publications - email
