Factiva

Let's say, for example, we are looking for articles from and about Germany.

Searching Factiva for News FROM Germany

  1. Use the (default) Search Builder screen
  2. Click on Source
  3. Select Source By Region
  4. Choose Europe → Western Europe → Germany
  5. Enter search terms and run your search
  6. Keep in mind that Factiva assumes you are doing a phrase search. Remember to use Boolean Connectors (and, or, not) to combine terms.

Searching Factiva for News ABOUT Germany
