Besides newspapers, the database allows users to browse through a collection of global content sources from 200 countries – including continuously updated newswires from Dow Jones and Reuters, journals and magazines, websites, blogs, and multimedia. Factiva also includes brief company and industry profiles, financial information for listed companies worldwide, and global coverage of financial market data.

Papers Past We've launched a new version of Papers Past, which has been providing access to millions of pages of digitised New Zealand newspapers since 2001. The new site delivers a number of major changes that bring the service into the present and prepares it for the future.
