Newspapers

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries no longer receives many daily print newspapers. 

Instead, newspaper material is primarily accessed through a variety of library subscription databases, microfilm, and open access web sites.  

Keep in mind. . .

When looking for newspapers and/or newspaper articles, there are some things to consider:

• Are you looking for current news or a news story from the past?
• Do you want just a standalone article, or do you want to see it as it was originally published, in the context of the larger issue?
• Does you need to have access to any sort of graphic, visual, or illustration that accompanied an article when it was published?
• Are you looking for news coverage by a U.S. or non-U.S. newspaper?
• Does language matter?
• Are you just looking for articles on a topic, or do you need to do a more in depth content analysis of a newspaper?

The answers you have for the questions above may impact where and how you look for information.
