In fall 2010, the Waco Tribune placed much of it’s content behind a pay wall. It came to our attention last week that it appears they have removed the pay wall and articles are now freely accessible.

Over the years, ProQuest has acquired the companies, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts (CSA) and Chadwyck Healey. For the past year, ProQuest has been developing a new search interface which they want to apply to all of their databases as well as those acquired from CSA and Chadwyck Healey. The migration to the new interface has been in place for several months, and the Baylor University Libraries have now switched to the new ProQuest interface for the following resources:
As ProQuest continues to migrate their family of resources into the new interface, we will make the appropriate changes.

Since its founding in 1970, the Institute for Oral History has completed over 800 memoirs comprising more than 1,800 oral history interviews. The Institute has created transcripts of all interviews in the collection, and these transcripts are available to researchers and the public in PDF format. This digital collection provides access to these oral histories.
In addition to the memoirs described in this Guide, there are more than 1,500 interviews undergoing transcribing and editing in the Institute for Oral History. Summaries of these memoirs will be added to the Guide as the interview transcripts are completed and deposited in the archives.

As a digital repository for the nation’s great research libraries, HathiTrust brings together the immense collections of partner institutions. It was initially conceived as a collaboration of the thirteen universities of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation, the University of California system, and the University of Virginia to establish a repository for those universities to archive and share their digitized collections, and quickly expanded to include additional partners with fast growing treasure of digitized collections.
Since Baylor is now a full partner in HathiTrust, enhanced access is available for Baylor students, faculty, and staff through their Bear ID and password, using Shibboleth, an Internet2 technology for inter-institutional identification. Although this level of access isn’t required to search HathiTrust or view the full text of public domain materials, additional functionality is available to users from partner libraries:
More information on Baylor’s partnership with HathiTrust is available here.

Update: We have deactivated this access pending further discussions with the Waco Tribune.
On September 15, 2010, online access to the Waco Tribune was restricted to those who subscribe to daily delivery of the paper. The Baylor University Libraries have 3 of these subscriptions, so we have set up online access for the Baylor University community. To see articles at the Waco Tribune website, you will need to use the user name and password provided here.
