With the recent addition of Access World News, The Temple Universtiy Libraries now have three databases that provide international news coverage: Access World News, LexisNexis, and World News Connection. Two of these, LexisNexis and Access World News, also provide national coverage.

Access World News' hierarchical structure makes it easy to drill down to the desired search domain. Using the map of the world you can choose to search regions or individual countries. There are over 600 US newspapers and over 700 international newspapers to choose from. The advanced search makes it easy to identify articles in many different sections of a newspaper and many different date ranges. On the left side of the homepage there are links to a number of major papers, like The Chicago Tribune, The LA Times, The New York Times, The Times (of London), and The Washington Post. The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Philadelphia Daily News are also available from this database.

Check the library's News Sources subject list for a complete listing of our newspaper databases. To check for individual newspapers, you can also search Journal Finder.
