In addition to the aviation-specific Web sites noted above, there are two general search engines that cover news reports. Oldest and long the most helpful is the Business News Reports, specifically the “Airline/Aviation News” daily compilation from Yahoo Finance located at Http://biz. ya-hoo. com/news/airlines. html. With a U. S. emphasis, these reports come from a variety of sources such as Business Wire, PR Newswire, AP, and Standard & Poor's.
Next in importance, primarily because of its international scope, is the “Business News” search feature available from the multi-search engine Dogpile at Http://www. dogpile. com. Although many of the same sources, e. g., PR Newswire are tapped as at the Yahoo site, so too are many others not examined there, including Africa News, Agence France, Asiainfo, Inter Press, Itar-TASS, Reuters, UPI, and Xinhua.
A large number of commercial databases that can provide periodical articles for free or a fee are available at public and academic libraries. Among these are such well-known titles as First Search, EBSCO Host, ABI Inform, JSTORs, and various Gale Group components of Infotrac. Employing the free search box, a review of the subject contents held by Northern Light at Http://www. northernlight. com and Carl Uncover at Http://uncweb. carl. org, the latter recently purchased by the British online document supplier Ingentra, can be profitable for those seeking to build a bibliography of titles.
