*HighBeam Research <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HighBeam_Research>* is an
online, paid search engine for newspapers, magazines, academic journals,
newswires, trade magazines and encyclopedias. The site has access to over
80 million articles from 6,500 publications, most of which are not
available for free elsewhere on the internet. Thousands of new articles are
added daily, archives date back over 25 years including trade journal,
newspaper articles, and peer-reviewed journals covering a wide range of
subjects and industries; and there are tools for finding, saving,
organizing, and sharing information as documents. Aside from a free 7-day
trial (credit card required), access to HighBeam costs $30 per month or
$200 per year for the first year and $300 for subsequent years.
As of March 13, 2012 HighBeam has generouslly agreed to give free,
full-access 1-year accounts for Wikipedia editors to use, at the discretion
of the community. HighBeam is excited about this and does not expect there
to be a shortage of these free, 1-year accounts; however, editors will have
to have a 1 year-old account and 1000 edits in order to qualify for one. At
the end of 1 year, editors who found the resource useful can simply
re-apply.
The current plan, although up for discussion, is for sign-ups for the
accounts to begin on Monday April 2 at 10am EST and remain open until the
following Monday; if there are more editors than accounts, to assign them
randomly; if a surplus of accounts remain available, to re-open the sign-up
page for regular additions.
