Finding Newspapers in BISON
When searching for a known newspaper, do a title search in BISON omitting any initial article (A, An, The).
| Example: | ||
| times of india | for | The Times of India |
| nacion | for | La Nacion |
| zeit | for | Die Zeit |
Be sure to check the Check Availability link to see if we own the issue you need.
If you don't find the issue/date for your newspaper title in UB Libraries Catalog, look at the record to see if the newspaper has had a title change. If so, you may find another record(s) with additional holdings by searching the other title. The following wording may indicate that there is another record for a title: Continues (indicates former title), Continued By (indicates newer title), Relationships, and Other Titles .
Example: Buffalo Evening News , Continued By: Buffalo News
When searching for a newspaper from a particular location , try this:
- Select the Journals tab. Then select Expert as your search type. Enter WPL= (enter the location) and WSU=newspapers. This stands for "keyword in the place of publication and the word newspapers in the subject field."
Example: WPL=buffalo and WSU=newspapers
It may be necessary to broaden the geographical term from city to state, province or country.
Example: WPL=erie and WSU=newspapers
