The Economist

A few of you have asked about paper copies, and others for the web subscription to The Economist, so here are the directions to get to get into The Economist issues from our library databases online. Our online access goes all the way back to June 1990, and because of this, we’ve recycled our old magazines and don’t receive the print edition.

Along the right side of the blog, choose Databases for Searching Magazines, Books, Journals, Newspapers.

Choose EBSCO – this is our biggest Database with thousands of full text articles! On campus, it will recognize your IP Address, off Campus you will need to enter our passwords. If you can’t remember the library database passwords, email library@ravenscroft.org.

Choose Academic Journals, Grade 9-12 – most of these links are taking you to the same resources, but with more user-friendly/fun icons for younger kids. Choose MAS Ultra Database, and search by date or by article title.

• If you know the exact date of the article you want, click on PUBLICATIONS in the top of the screen or Advanced Search and just search for Economist under publication. The Economist has a 21 day “rolling” publication release, so you can’t get this week’s issues, but usually, you can still get those on http://www.economist.com/

• If you know the title of the article, you need to enter the title of the magazine and title of the article: for example, Economist and Street of Shame

You can email this article to yourself or print it out. If you want to save the link back to it, don’t use the link in the top of the browser, make sure you save the “Permalink” found on the right side of the screen.
