Arts Journalism Databases

An extensive and interdisciplinary list of databases you may wish to search to locate academic articles, news articles, music, images, video and more.  Despite the length, this remains a partial list.  When in doubt, contact a librarian or visit the full SU Libraries Website:

Access World News Access Tip:  Access World News (Newsbank) has been expanding its range of full page imaged newspaper archives of current and recent content, with titles like The Guardian, The Independent, and more local to the SU Hill, Syracuse Post-Standard.  A handy way to see all such page imaged newspaper collections from the Access World News homepage is to click on the A-Z Source List, then click on the column heading for "Format" so that the format type called "image" sorts the page imaged newspaper titles toward the top of that A to Z list.

Additional Form 990 Information

In addition to access to recent and more deeply historical Form 990 financial statements for U.S. non-profit organizations via the Library's licensed access to Guidestar Pro  and for Foundations via Foundation Directory Online (SU Libraries supports the "professional" version of FD Online), these organizations below are yet further examples of portals for obtaining financial and executive backgound information about nonprofits.  Guidestar Pro and Foundation Directory Online - Professional should meet needs of most researchers.  Access to detailed data and search features from these similar competitor services generally requires a paid fee:
