News Sources

Use the library's subscriptions to hundreds of news sources through our databases and e-journals. This is especially helpful when:

you need previous articles that are no longer available for free from the web site
you want to search across multiple sources at once--e.g. The New York Times and The Washington Post are included with other major US papers in LexisNexis Academic
you want to search across a longer time period than is available on the free web

Strategies:

Go to Online Journal Titles and type the name of the newspaper; or
Search one of the Newspaper Databases: Browse Databases by Subject: Reference/Newspapers/world area
Many include other news sources like wire services, BBC, etc. as well as international sources translated into English
