Greetings I'm Martin Crabtree from the
Mercer County Community College Library.
I'd like to spend a moment speaking with
you about how to access
the current articles in the New York
Times and the Wall Street Journal
using the library's resources.
I am now stepping out live to the
college's homepage,
mccc.edu. If i scroll down a little
bit below the cycling images,
right here Current/Returning Students,
Library Services. I'm going to click on that
link here.
It'll take me to the library's homepage.
If we scroll down a little bit over
here on the left hand side, the quick
links. I'm going to get into the
databases, I'm going to get into the
databases by
subject. That's how i'll access those two
publications. Clicking on that will take us
to the
database page. The databases are broken down
by subject. The Wall Street Journal
and the New York Times are both in the
news section.
If i click on News, it'll drop me
right down to that portion of the list.
The New York Times link here for the current
New York Times. You also have historical
if you're looking for,
you know, 1800s type New York Times.
That's the link for this one. We have
the current link here,
or the Wall Street Journal down here.
These two links will take us to these
two publications.
The process for accessing the
information for each
newspaper is identical. I'm only going
to go into one right now.
I'm pointing at the Wall Street Journal
so i'll click into that right now.
The first thing i need to do is log in, just
like you would if you're off campus.
Because I work at the college, my login
is a little bit different. You might
notice that it's not quite the same.
Now i'm at the New York Iimes or, I'm
sorry, the Wall Street Journal's
search screen. I can search the entire
Wall Street Journal collection which
dates back to the beginning of 1984
if I so choose. 
Also I can drill my way into specific
dates or date ranges, things like that if
I so choose.
Today, I want to see the latest issue.
Right here we have a link to the latest
issue, July 22, 2020.
Clicking on this will bring me
a list of all the articles
in today's issue of the Wall Street Journal
I can work my way down the
list and
see what all there is. The listing is in
page order. I get
page A1, section A, page one, the front
page of the Wall Street Journal.
Working my way down it's in
page order.
If there's something in particular I'm
interested in,
I can search within this issue. Clicking
on search within
will bring up this screen here. 
For example, say I'm looking for China. Click
on search,
and now I have all the articles in
today's issue of the Wall Street Journal
that use that word, China.
I can click on the title of the
article to step in and actually view the
article
itself. Here I have the text of the
actual article.
From here I can email the articl
If I want to share it with
other people.
I can print it out. I can save it in the
pdf format
if I wish. I can also get the
citation if I need that. Clicking on this
will allow me to get the citation. The
defaults to the APA formatting which is
here. If I wish,
I can switch it to the MLA formatting.
Again the most recent version,
and it'll give me the MLA formatted
citation.
So that's how we access the most recent
issues
in the Wall Street Journal and the New
York Times. If you have any questions or
need any help,
please ask, the library's here to help.
That's what we do!
