Press Display is one of our most popular electronic resources. In March, The Press was read 7,125 times. Press Display contains not just local newspapers but over a thousand other newspapers in 48 different languages. All newspapers are fully scanned, so you can see all the details you would in print.
Recently 300 more titles were added and included in the catalogue. They include:
- The Observer (England)
- Heves Megyei Hirlap (Hungary)
- Moose Jaw Times Herald (Canada)
- The Kathmandu Post (Nepal)
- Kommersant Omsk (Russia)
- Wolfhager Allgemeine (Germany)
Most newspapers now include up to 90 days coverage. Some may contain only 14 or 30 days depending on the publisher.
Press Display Tip: Aim to use this resource after 9am as it seems many people get up early to read the paper and you may be turned away due to too many people wanting to use it! The rest of the day is fine. Access this resource with your libray card number and PIN at the Source and through library catalogue.
