Finding a Specific Newspaper or News Article

Newspaper Titles: Most newspaper titles to which the library has access can be located via the Journal Search (within Library Search). When you locate the correct title, check the publication dates and where the item is available.

Specific Newspaper Articles: To locate a specific newspaper article (not the entire publication), try a Newspapers search in Library Search.

Beyond the Catalog: For those items that are not listed in Library Search, you may wish first to see if they’re freely available online (e.g., Google search). If they are not, search in WorldCat for other libraries that have the item (do a title search and limit the format to newspapers). You can then request a specific item via interlibrary loan, or you may wish visit the library or archive that houses the materials.
