Description

The Database Access service will consist of access to a secure website hosting the database, a user interface giving users the ability to search the database for client-specific terms from all national newspaper titles in the database repertoire, the ability to save searches for more efficient daily processing, the return of individual files for each story meeting these search terms, story availability between midnight and 1am (first editions) and by 4am (last editions) on the day of publication (weekdays, weekends add 90m), all stories from 1st and last London editions, and the ability to extract links for transmission to clients giving clients the ability (subject to having a valid NLA licence) to view full colour PDFs of the clippings complete with a thumbnail of the entire page showing the location of the article; complete metadata; and any client-specific branding components.
