Working on your promotion and tenure packet? Perhaps your third year review? Contact your librarian to save you time.

Your subject librarian can gather the relevant metrics to show the impact and quality of your work. These metrics can include traditional metrics like impact factor and acceptances rates, and non-traditional metrics like almetrics. (Not all journals will have impact factors, so non-traditional metrics are a good alternative to consider when establishing the quality and impact of your work.)

To get the process started, contact your subject librarian for a consultation to discuss what metrics you need for your P&T materials, as well as other services available to you.

Access to the news is more important than ever now. You can access several newspapers through Mizzou Libraries off campus to help you keep up to date on what’s happening in the world.

For the most recent news, within the last two weeks, use Factiva or Newspaper Source. These databases include The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and many more national and international newspapers.

• Once you log in to Factiva, go to News Pages at the top to access today’s headlines
• To see a list of publications in Newspaper Source, go to Publications at the top of the page

For recent international news, take a look at Global Newsstream.  This database also includes archives which stretch back into the 1980s featuring newspapers, newswires, blogs, and news sites in active full- text format.

Need earlier stories? You can find those in Proquest Historical Newspapers.

Be sure to check out our Finding News guide for the many other ways you have access to the news at Mizzou.
