Q. Does Pepperdine have online access to the Economist?
Current Pepperdine students, faculty, and staff now have two access options for The Economist through Pepperdine Libraries. The Libraries now has a site subscription to TheEconomist.com as well as access through the Biography in Context database.
The library subscription to Economist.com includes:
- Daily and weekly content providing analysis on world events
- Access to the online archive of past editions, articles and blogs, back to 1997.
