Note: Users of the American University of Beirut have a 90-day expiration cookie placed on their account. This means that if you do not click on the link located in the Libraries’ page within 90 days, you will lose access to the Wall Street Journal. This process was put into place, by WSJ, not only to ensure that legitimate and current students and professors are able to use the site license but also when students leave AUB, their access will automatically drop off as well.

- ProQuest Central (1998-2010)
