Factiva's New Interface

Factiva is developing an updated interface, which will bring more accessibility features and will work with all devices. The interface is live, but all features have not been migrated yet. The new interface supports natural language queries and Boolean operators. Other Factiva search syntax is not available at this time. 

The classic interface is still available, access it by clicking the Switch Factiva button near the search box

Automatic Logout after 10 Minutes

We have a limited number of users for Factiva, so there is an automatic logout built into the system. You must actively click or Factiva will log you out after 10 minutes. You will lose any work if that happens, so we recommend opening any articles you are interested in as RTF or PDF documents.
