FAQ: Where do I find newspaper articles in the library?

Using the Multi-Search

Many of our newspaper articles can be found using the Multi-Search on the library homepage. On your search results page, go to the "Source Type" filter under the search bar. Check the box for "News" and click the blue "Apply" button:

If you do not see the Source Type filter under your search box, click on the "All Filters" button and you will find it under the full list of filter options.

Please note that the Source Type filter only shows you what content types are currently present in your search results. If you do not see "News" as an option, it means that your search keywords did not find any newspaper articles.

Specific Newspapers or Articles

If you are looking for a specific newspaper article, the Multi-Search is a good starting point. Do a search for the full title with quotation marks around it. This tells the search engine to find the exact phrase, not just the individual words.

If you do not see the article in the Multi-Search, or if you are looking for an entire newspaper, you can use the Publication Finder This link opens in a new window. Here are the steps to access and use the Publication Finder:

1. Click on the "Find Resources" menu on the library homepage.
2. Select "Newspapers, Magazines, & Journal Articles (Publication Finder)" in the drop-down menu. 
3. On the Publication Finder page, enter the newspaper title with quotation marks around it in the search box.
4. Databases that have full text coverage of the newspaper will be listed in the search results, along with the date range. Select a database from the list (make sure to check date coverage) under the "Full Text Access" section

   

5. You will be taken to the journal's publication page in the database you chose.
6. You can either browse or search for the article title.
