St. Louis Post-Dispatch [ProQuest]

To access the St. Louis Post-Dispatch through our ProQuest Newsstand database, go to www.slcl.org and click on Research. Then either click on the News, Sports & Weather Subject Guide or locate the resource under the Databases A-Z tool. Click on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch [ProQuest] link. The interface is very similar to the Historical St. Louis Post-Dispatch through ProQuest Newsstand. 

When you access the database the main page is set up for a Basic Search where you can search for name and/or subject.  To limit the search down to a time frame or other variables, use the Advanced Search feature which can be accessed by clicking the link under the Basic Search box. Unfortunately, the Advanced and Obituaries tabs under the ProQuest Newsstand heading toward the top of the screen will search the entire ProQuest database and will not be limited to the St Louis Post-Dispatch. 

The Advanced Search has a couple of interesting features. Users can limit down by company/organization, person, location and NAICS codes.  However, when you refine your search with these limiters it will search for the terms tagged under these subject headings. Keep in mind that even though these search limitations may seem beneficial that since the search is limited to terms in these subject headings, important articles may be excluded. Searching by NAICS codes is a convenient way to conduct industry research for the St. 
Louis area. Once you have found your article you have all the same options to export as you did in NewsBank including print, email, save and citation.
