Finding Specific Newspapers

Are you looking for a specific newspaper? There are a few ways you can find out if the CU Libraries have access to the newspaper's content.

Full-Text Online Access

To find out if the CU Libraries have full-text online access to a particular newspaper, go to the E-Journal Finder and type in the name of the newspaper (i.e. New York Times). You will get a list of library databases that contain the text of the particular newspaper. Make sure you note the dates covered in each database (the dates will appear to the left of the database name).

Print and Microfilm

To find out if the CU Libraries have the print or microfilm version of a particular newspaper, go to the Chinook library catalog and select "Periodical Title," then search for the name of the newspaper. The information in Chinook will tell you where the newspaper is held (usually the Media Library, the Periodical Room, or the Archives), what dates the library has, and what format the newspaper is in (print or microfilm).

If CU doesn't have the newspaper you're looking for...
