Find Newspapers in the Library
Not all newspapers are online. In particular older issues are often available only in print, or more typically on microformat (microfilm, microfiche). What are Microforms?
To find out if the newspaper you want is owned by the Libraries search The CAT.
Find Newspapers by Title
If you know the newspaper name, perform a Browse Title search. Be aware that the city names may not be part of the title. The Cleveland Plain Dealer is just the Plain Dealer, the Memphis Commercial Appeal is the Commercial Appeal . Many newspapers are not fully described in The CAT. ASK if you are not finding what you need.
Find Newspapers by Geographic Location
Enter the city and limit your search to "Newspapers" using the Advanced Search in The CAT. Not every newspaper record in The CAT includes this information.
