Searching for Newspapers
The Library subscribes to a wide range of newspapers in print, microform and electronic format. The print and microform format can be located via the Library Catalogue using the Title Search option and choosing Journals catalogue from the catalogue box.
For example:
To find a specific print newspaper, search under title but if the title is general there may be too many results, so the "build search" feature can be used or select 'Format' Newspaper from the list on the left of the wbpage.
Click on the "check availability" box to see locations of the newspapers.
Newspapers may not be borrowed from any of the campus Library. However you may photocopy material for personal study (within Copyright regulations).
Newspapers on microform can also only be used in the Libraries on the reader machines provided.

You should make sure you are logged into the Portal to access electronic newspapers. Electronic resources are protected by Athens and occasionally, off campus, you will be asked for an Athens password. Usually this problem occurs off campus. It you are challenged for an Athens username and password go to the help page on offcampus issues. Further information on passwords.
