You will be taken to the Journal search page. To search for a specific title, you will type the name of the newspaper you are looking for in the search bar.

When you start to type the title of the newspaper you are looking for, you will be given options for several titles. Select the title that you would like to use. If the name does not appear in the drop-down menu, you can search with what you put in the search bar by hitting enter.

From there, you will be able to use the search function as you usually would on the library website. Accessing newspapers using Journal Search is a quick and easy way to find specific periodicals for your research.
