Canadian Business & Current Affairs (CBCA) Current Events™ includes Canadian titles focusing on current events. Current events are interpreted broadly to include politics, business, the arts, sports, and any other kind of news, whether happening in Canadaor abroad. This collection features newspapers, newswires, news magazines, as well as television and radio transcripts titles. CBCA Current Events is an essential source for users tracking trends, gaining historical perspective, or seeking background on regional, national, and global events.

In-Depth and Detailed Focus on Canada
CBCA on ProQuest® creates synergy between Micromedia ProQuest and ProQuest electronic database products while taking advantage of the functionality of the ProQuest Web interface. Clients are able to cross-database search CBCA Current Events with Canadian Newsstand™ (a very powerful combination for the retrieval of Canadian information), or search CBCA with any of the ProQuest databases (e.g. ABI/INFORM®, ProQuest Newsstand™ or ProQuest Research Library™), dependant on their research topic.

Search Features & Functionality

  • Seamless cross-database searching—Allows users to retrieve Canadian information across all ProQuest databases, including Canadian Newsstand.
  • Subject vocabulary has been standardized with ABI/INFORM®—To facilitate cross-database searching, core Canadian subject headings have been expanded upon and CBCA data has been reprocessed so that subject terms, article types, and geographic terms have as much consistency as is possible across the entire backfile.
  • OpenURL linking—Users can access articles or publications from other electronic resources.
  • Greater Searching Control—“Refine-as-you go” searching, “More Like This,” and Alerts means researchers can find exactly what they’re looking for.
