Interactive newspaper

[John McKay]

Colleagues may want to explore the on-line
version of the British newspapers "The Times"
and "The Sunday Times". This service 
started on 1st January 1996.

These papers are available full text from 2.30am 
each day. As I understand it, the intention is also to
create a searchable archive of back issues.

It is also possible to "personalise" your interface 
to the papers. You can, for instance, store a list of 
keywords which will then be run automatically each 
time you access the paper. This could be useful for
specialist libraries - almost like your own clippings 
service!

The URL is...

Let's hope other news services make information
retrieval this easy!
