Online Access to Arizona Daily Star...

Just wanted to update you on the status of access the Arizona Daily Star online. We know many of you use it in your classrooms, so wanted to give you a heads up.

It appears that the PCC libraries will not have access to America's Newspapers (by NewsBank) this semester.

Due to issues with the vendor, PCC Libraries will be unable to offer access to America's Newspapers (by NewsBank) which provides access to many state newspapers, including the Arizona Daily Start (1991-current), as well as local papers such as La Estella de Tucson and The Explorer.

Full-text articles from Arizona Daily Star (2001-current) are still available through Newspaper Source (by Ebsco), which can be accessed via the Library Home page (www.pima.edu/library or via the library tab in MyPima) >> Magazine, Newspapers, and Journal Articles >> Newspapers >> Newspaper Source. Older issues of the Arizona Daily Star going back to 1870 are available on microfilm at the West Campus Library.

Current issues, as well as some archives of
La Estella de Tucson and The Explorer can still be accessed directly through the websites of each newspaper.

Please take this into account as you are planning assignments for your classes. For more information, please feel free to contact any of the librarians here at the Downtown Campus Library (x7267).

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
