Some newspaper articles are available full-text online through databases to which BCTC subscribes.

An example of these includes the Kentucky newspaper: the Lexington Herald- Leader (1983-present).

NewsBank includes full text of many national and international newspapers. This is a good way of getting other countries' views on news of the world.

Homepages of various US newspapers like The New York Times and USA Today offer only limited access to full-text articles.

The Major Metro U.S. Newspapers section of NewsBank offers citations and many full-text articles from six major U.S. newspapers.

BCTC's LRC subscribes to several U.S. newspapers in print form and keeps several months of them. Always check to see if we carry an article you don't find full-text from a website or online database.
