AHSS Teaching and Research Support: Newspapers

A Guide to Library support for AHSS research students at Ulster

Finding Newspapers

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.
