We have had ProQuest's Wall Street Journal online for many years, and despite faculty saying they want, need, and have students use it, use has dropped to the point where I told our business school that they had to split the cost to continue the subscription.
I know that the current ProQuest interface is probably not the best for use and inquired about site licensing from the WSJ directly. Their quote is on par with what we're paying now and I believe the site license would increase use greatly.</div>

However, I'm finding somewhat conflicting information about site license coverage and implementation based on what I see from other universities' subscriptions. Here are my questions:</div>

-If you have the Campus-Wide Access site license what is the date coverage? The WSJ rep said archival coverage is back to 1998, but I see other institutions list a 4 year cut off.</div>

-WSJ says they are SSO compatible, and as we have Open Athens integrated with Azure, can do that easily. However, do users still have to make a separate account with WSJ or can the SSO be carried through to accomplish that as well?</div>

Are there any other site license issues/complexities we should be aware of? We are not in a financial position to do both ProQuest and a site license; it has to be one or the other.</div>
