Q. Does the Library have access to current newspapers?

The University has access to a variety of online newspaper and periodical databases. A full list can be found here: rl.talis.com/3/leicester/lists/F13BD503-DEBF-3795-0326-620F3289045F.html.

One of the more commonly used databases is Nexis, which holds a collection of resources providing UK and international newspapers, and business information for over 100 countries worldwide. Nexis can be accessed via this link: ezproxy.lib.le.ac.uk/login?url=https://advance.lexis.com/nexis?identityprofileid=K4B3ZM57668. Some of the titles on there include:

• Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph
• Financial Times (we also have: FT.com)
• Guardian and Observer
• Independent and Independent on Sunday
• Leicester Mercury
• London Evening Standard
• The Times and Sunday Times

It is also possible to search for newspaper content directly on Library Search, including content from Nexis and some other historical newspaper archives. This is available from the 'Newspapers Search' tab at the top of Library Search. Alternatively, Newspapers Search can be accessed directly from this link.

If you would like any assistance with this or any of the other newspaper databases, please contact our Academic Librarians at librarians@le.ac.uk.

The library does not have access to current newspapers in print.
