Don't forget about the Library's Newspaper Databases...

This week our featured resource is: Newspapers

This is the time of year when many students are working on one or more research papers. When they come to the library for assistance we assist them in finding items in our physical collection (here and at other campuses), our reference resources, our article databases and of course finding and evaluating web resources. Many times when we bring using a newspaper as a resource they are unsure if they can.

Our newspaper resources include:

• Arizona Daily Star: Current week's articles
• Ethnic News Watch: Articles from the ethnic, minority and native presses.
• Historical Newspapers: The New York Times from 1851-2005
• Historical New York Times with Index
• Newspaper Source: Articles from various newspapers, including the Arizona Daily Star (09/29/2001 to present), as well as TV and radio transcripts
• ProQuest Newspapers: Articles from various newspapers, including  the New York Times (2002-current)

As you can see, there is a wide variety - both local and national. Newspaper resources are great for exploration of topics, current events, exploring regional tendencies, and interviews (especially the historical NY Times).
