Periodical Abstracts Research II, a general-interest indexing tool like Expanded Academic Index:

Newspaper Abstracts, covering 9 national papers, including text of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal:

Washington Newspapers, including the Seattle Times, P-I and others:

Digital Dissertations, providing online access to images of recent dissertations. (Digitized UW dissertations are available free to UW users. Dissertations from other schools can be ordered for $19.95 each.)

All of these databases provide substantial full-text coverage, with ABI/INFORM and Periodical Abstracts offering a choice of ASCII text, page images, or "text plus graphics"; the newspaper files are in simple ASCII text.
