The News International Newspapers’ intranet

Abstract

Since 1985, News International has maintained an in‐house database which provides access to several daily and Sunday newspaper titles and has developed into a powerful research tool for librarians and journalists. A plan to provide a web‐based front end to the Editorial Database led to the development of an Editorial Services Intranet which also makes available content produced by Reference Library staff. The material ranges from the databases such as the library’s book catalogue and a record of all aviation disasters to lists of all IRA attacks in mainland Britain and ministerial resignations.
