Q. How can I access major national newspapers online?

Hello,

We subscribe to several databases that provide access to current issues of major national newspapers or newspapers of record.
1. National Newspapers Core
Full-text articles from the Wall Street Journal, Christian Science Monitor, The New York Times, The Sun (Baltimore), and The Washington Post.

2. Nexis Uni
Full-text articles from hundreds of newspapers (except Baltimore Sun, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post)

There are three ways to access the major newspapers online (such as Wall Street Journal, Christian Science Monitor, Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, The Sun (Baltimore), and The Washington Post):
searching the title of the newspaper in the catalog
 searching the title of the newspaper in Journal Finder
 searching the title of the database in the Databases tab (or clicking the links above).

Option 1: Catalog search

Start @ lib.umd.edu. In the large search box in the middle of the page, type the title of the newspaper you would like to read. Click Search. Find the title in the list of results and click on it.

This will bring you to a page with links to current and historical issues online (be sure to check the dates next to each link), the location of the print issues (generally the latest week to month), and the location of the microfilmed issues (the most complete record, usually about a month behind the print).

Option 2: Journal Finder search

Start @ lib.und.edu. Under the big search box, click on the Journals box/tab.   Type the title of the newspaper into the first search box. Click Search.

This will get you the list of all issues available online. It will break them down by date and by database. This will also give you previous titles (newspapers change their titles fairly often) which can be handy for finding very old issues. Again, this will only give you issues that are available online.
