In the Periodicals
Department, on the
main level of Kent Library, you'll find
current newspapers in print and
historical newspapers on microfilm.
Finding
Newspapers by Title
To find out what
newspapers are available for what dates
in periodicals, use the
Kent Library Catalog. Click on
Journal Title and type in the name of
the newspaper.

newspapers from Missouri in the Kent
Library Catalog.
If you prefer a hard copy, there is a
binder at the periodicals desk that
lists newspaper holdings by decade and
title.
Finding Newspaper Articles by
Date
The newspapers in the
Periodicals Department are arranged by title,
and then by date. To find out which
newspapers cover which dates, ask at the
Periodicals Desk.
If you are working on an assignment
that involves finding an article from
the year you were born, Kent Library has
prepared a handy research guide for that
here.
Finding
Newspaper Articles by Subject
Some newspapers have a corresponding
print index. A print index allows
you to look up a subject or topic and
see each time that subject appeared in
the newspaper for the year(s) the index
covers. Once you have found an article
in an index, write down the citation
(the name of the newspaper, date and
page number). Take it to the periodicals
desk and ask for help locating the full
text.

indexes available on the main floor.
If you need help finding articles for
your research, don't hesitate to ask for
help.
Contact the librarians at Kent
Library at the Reference Desk on the
third floor.
