Newspapers

Newspapers provide articles each day about current events and are a good source for local information. 

Newspapers, like journals and magazines, are called "periodicals" because they are published regularly, or periodically.

Examples of Newspapers

  • Wall Street Journal
  • New York Times
  • Boston Globe 
You can find newspapers in print or microfilm format, or on the Web as electronic newspapers. Most newspapers have their own free Web sites with today's news, and sometimes they provide earlier, popular articles without charge. For full coverage of many newspapers, look for subscriptions purchased by the library. Library databases include the full text of major newspapers such as The New York Times and The Boston Globe as well as many smaller newspapers.
