Many newspapers have their own Web sites. So, one way to get newspaper articles is to travel around on the Web. We'll show you how to do that, but first, we want to introduce a newspaper database that makes searching a lot easier for some major news sources.

The National Newspapers Articles database provides you with access to recent articles from the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and the Christian Science Monitor -- all through one interface.

Here's how you get to it and use it.

  1. From the Cabrillo College Library homepage, click on Fulltext Articles.
    2. If you're at an Information Workstation in the Library, just click on HOME towards the top of your screen. [From off campus, your library card number is your user ID]
  2. Click on National Newspaper Articles (ProQuest)
  3. Click in the search box and type in terms that represent your topic.
  4. Select one of the articles to look at (click on the title), and fill in the information below.
    5.

Title of article ____________________________________
