Twentieth-Century Global Perspectives

Abstract

The collections that comprise Twentieth-Century Global Perspectives, covering 1941-1996, include primary sources from the Central Intelligence Agency's Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS) Daily Reports, 1941-1996 and its Joint Publications Research Service (JPRS) Reports, 1957-1995. The online versions of these sources are not consolidated anywhere else, making these collections invaluable for researchers in the various disciplines covered. Weaknesses of the database include the inability to search across all collections simultaneously, the absence of help screens, and the inability to export to bibliographic management tools such as RefWorks or Zotero.
