Indexes to Newspapers: There are several online indexes to newspapers
available to UIUC affiliates. These
indexes have excellent coverage of major American newspapers, while their
coverage of International ones is spotty. If indexing to foreign language
newspapers through Lexis-Nexis is not sufficient for locating relevant articles
on a subject, a searcher can at least locate dates of events through The New
York Times Historical, which has full page and article images for 1851-1999. To
search this database, click on the following link:
The
New York Times Historical.
Full text articles from some prominent newspapers in French, Dutch, German, Italian, and Spanish can be retrieved through through this database In two ways. One way is to enter searches in these languages (English operators [and, or, not] must be used to combine search terms). Another way is to use the Guided News Search. Under Step One, select "Non-English Language News" and Under Step Two, chose a language. Diacritic marks should be ignored, except in German, where "E" must follow all vowels with an umlaut.
