NewspaperDirect Products: Library Press Display and ND Press

The University Library provides access to a large number of newspapers in electronic format through the following databases:

• Access World News
• LexisNexis Academic
• InfoTrac Custom Newspapers
• ProQuest Historical Newspapers
• Times Digital Archive
• World News Connection
• China Core Newspaper Databases
• Universal Database of Russian Newspapers

Yet most of these databases provide the full text of the articles in the newspapers without including all the additional materials such as the pictures and advertising that are part of a newspaper issue.

For this reason, the University Library is now providing access to two new products that have electronic versions of the actual current issues of the newspapers as they appear in the print format. Library PressDisplay allows library patrons to look at newspaper issues for the last 60 days of over 300 newspaper titles. Patrons can view the newspapers online and can print individual pages from those issues.

If a patron would like to view an entire issue of a newspaper in print format, then the patron can come to Serials/Microforms on the second floor of the Graduate Library or to the Language Resource Center at 2009 Modern Languages Building and request that the library print an issue from the last 60 days of any title that is available through ND Press. These issues are for use within the library or the Language Resource Center.

Special note for instructors: If instructors anticipate that they will be using specific issues of a newspaper that is available through ND Press for a class, either the Graduate Library or the Language Resource Center would be happy to print those newspaper issues ahead of time and have them available for the class.

If you have further questions about any of the databases, please feel free to contact Marija Freeland at (734)764-5455 or at mfreelan@umich.edu. To request that current issues of newspapers that are available through ND Press be printed off, feel free to contact Serials/Microforms at (734)764-0503 or the Language Resources Center at (734) 936-6960.
