PRA-470 Library Guide

This is a guide of library resources to accompany the course PRA-470.

The Leatherby Libraries' subscribe to a number of newspaper databases, with each capable of searching through many news sources with the click of a button. Not every data.base is the same, though. Teach of the databases below have different coverage, depending on what geographic area you intend to search.

All of the databases below feature the same features which we discussed for Google, such as phrase searching and truncation.

The Newspaper databases can be found by following this link on the library homepage:
