BUT, none of these databases includes all the charts that appear in the WSJ. Be certain you know what your users want.

You should explore the possibility of subscribing to it through a bundled 'database' such as ProQuest or Lexis-Nexis Academic Universe. Peter V.

Access is by password, and by only 1 person at a time. This does not really work for institutions. How are other libraries accessing WSJ Online?
