Newspapers

Search for a specific title in the Library Catalog. The results will tell you if the library has the item in print (current copies on our newspaper shelves; older copies on microfilm) or online via a database. Ask at the reference desk or the circulation desk if you need assistance using microfilm.

Note: many online newspapers have limits to how many articles you may access for free per month. If you have trouble accessing a specific article, contact a librarian.
