As a Northern Highlands student or teacher, you can access articles from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, and Los Angeles Times for free through our Proquest U.S. Major Dailies database. This video shows you how.
From school, clicking on any of the database links will get you directly in to any database.
From home, you need login credentials. These are subscription databases, which means that someone (either the state of NJ or Northern Highlands) has paid for you to have access, so you have to prove that you are entitled to access them. Click on the image below to access the Google Doc containing the passwords. You must be signed in with a Northern Highlands account to view these passwords.
Having trouble? Email the librarian at goldbergj@northernhighlands.org, or stop by the Library.

Unlike those of a free website, database URLs are dynamic. That means that they change, so if you copy and paste a URL from a database into a Google Doc, the link will not work.
Permanent links are found in different places in different families of databases. The table below will show you where to find permanent links to the database pages you want to visit again.
