Newspapers provide articles about current events and news. There
are newspapers published locally and nationally. Like journals and
magazines, newspapers are "periodicals" because they are
published regularly and a good percentage of newspapers are published
on a daily basis.
Newspapers can be found in print and in microform. (Microform is a
miniature version of a publication converted into film or fiche that
requires a special microform reader). Many newspapers also have their
own Web sites with todays news although they dont necessarily
provide free access to back issues. Newspapers are made available
to you by subscriptions purchased by your library.
