Proquest now offers Digital Microfilm options for a handful of their newspapers — it is basically PDFs of microfilm rolls that are accessible to any authorized Drexel user without having to use the microfilm reader!

Drexel has a trial to all of Proquests offerings, but of particular interest is the Wall Street Journal and Barron’s.  Both newspapers are currently only offering 2008 content in digital microfilm, but 2009 content will be added as corresponding months of microfilm is released.
