Finding Newspaper-y Type Content In Library Resources
1: Use a search engine to find the original content on the newspaper's website.
- Use clues on the page to help you track it down in a resource in the library. Scan the top and bottom of the page and the URL bar.
- Was it originally published or released on a different date, or with a different title? The text below appears at the bottom of this NYT.com story. Tip: because news sites are often releasing stories with different headlines to get more clicks, try searching for a sentence in the first paragraph of the article.
- Is it clear what edition the story was originally published in? Or, are you sure it isn't part of the newspaper's magazine or other related product?
- Is it a blog or other type of non-traditional content? Our coverage of non-news articles is often weaker and limited to more recent content.
- See the below example of an online WSJ article that is a blog and newsletter. This wouldn't appear in the digital versions of the printed newspaper, as it wasn't in the "normal" newspaper! Note how you can see the word blogs in the URL bar and how the hyperlinked text at the top of the article takes you to newsletters.

2. With the information you learned in step 1, search our collections to see if we have online access to the paper format and date range you need. You can use SearchWorks or the eJournal finder
- You might find multiple entries for the what appears to be the same publication. You might also find multiple providers for those entries (i.e. Factiva and NexisUni). Because they sometimes have varying coverage, it can be helpful to check all the options if you're coming up empty.
Note: Not everything will be in a library resource. You might be looking at something that is only available on the newspaper's online website. If that is the case, look for a shareable or permanent link provided by the newspaper's website. If the content you're trying to find is in a paper with a paywall, you can direct GSB students to create free accounts for some papers (see below).
