Newspapers and News

The sources in this guide provide access to:

• Current Newspapers -- those from the relatively recent past (~ 1980 and later)
• Historical Newspapers

Note:

• Pictures, advertisements, and special sections may not be available in electronic format.

• There may be some overlap between some sources in Current Newspapers and Historical Newspapers.

• Many newspapers make their publications freely available on their individual websites for a limited time. Be aware that some of these sites may have selected coverage or may be a special "online" edition that is not necessarily considered archivable.

• You should always start your research here with the Library's subscription sources where coverage is most consistent and reliable. Then go to the individual publisher web sites to supplement.

• Access to certain freelance articles and other features may be unavailable due to restrictions placed by the copyright owners.

Search for material in newspapers in three ways:

• Across collections of newspapers: SJU subscribes to newspapers databases that will allow you to search for a topic across the entire collection of newspaper sources.
  
• Individual newspaper titles: SJU provides access to a variety of individual titles.
  
• At publishers' websites.

We receive Newspapers and access to them in several formats:

• print
• electronic
• microfilm

The type of format you may need to use, will vary based upon our subscription to that source.
