1. Be on the Library Homepage
2. Select Full text Articles.
3. From the NEWS category select ProQuest Newspapers (NY Times, LA Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Christian Science Monitor)
4. The search box on the next screen is for "Basic Search"

6. How does ProQuest search work?

ProQuest treats your words as if they were a phrase: found in exactly that order, left to right.

1. Use the operator AND to find all the words.

   AND finds documents in which the words occur in the same paragraph (within approx. 1000 characters) or the words appear in any citation field.
   Example: internet AND education
   

2. Use "quotation marks" to search for exact phrases.
3. If you want the words to be required you have to type in command words or operators

   Study these examples for controling a search:

   econom*	Type an asterisk at the right-hand side of a word to retrieve all the words that start with the one you used. Example: econom* (for economy or economics or economical)
   "word word word" double quotes around a phrase when there are 3 or more words "George W. Bush" double quotes around a name	In basic search two words will be automatically seen as a phrase. Use quotes for three or more words. "world economic conditions"
   AND	the word AND requires that the word be found in all of the search results example: Japan  AND religion
