Overview

I believe I've seen the future of searchable full text periodicals, and the future is named Northern Light.
Richard Wiggins, Internet Outlook, September 5, 1997

What is the Special Collection?
The Northern Light Special Collection™ is an online business library comprising 6,200 trusted, full-text journals, books, magazines, newswires, and reference sources. The breadth of information available in the Special Collection is unique to Northern Light, and includes a wide range of diverse sources such as American Banker, ENR: Engineering News Record, The Lancet, PR Newswire, and ABC News Transcripts. This content is fully searchable integrated with the Web, or on its own through Power Search.

How much information is in the Special Collection?
Northern Light currently has 16 million individual full-text documents in the Special Collection, and adds approximately 250 unique sources each month.  Most of these Special Collection sources include articles back to January 1995.  Some of the book reviews go back as early as 1990.  Since we are continually adding new sources of information, some of our titles have more recent start dates.

What does it cost?
Most Special Collection documents range in price from $1.00 to $4.00 per article, with a few higher value sources, such as WEFA and Investext reports costing more.  Unlike expensive subscription services that require you to commit to pay up front before you can tell how much you will use, Northern Light will only ask you to pay for what you actually read.

When choosing a Special Collection item from the results list, you always receive a free summary of the article, to determine if the article is what you're looking for.  If you like the summary and decide to purchase the article, you can initiate a secured on-line credit card transaction.  Your document is instantly available on your screen after the purchase.
