The world’s most comprehensive collection of full-text newspapers globally, Access World News provides extensive coverage at every level—local, state, regional, national and international. This fully searchable Web-based resource features the vast majority of the top U.S. newspapers by circulation, along with hundreds of hard-to-find local and regional titles, most of which are unavailable elsewhere. Additionally, Access World News offers hundreds of international news sources from scores of countries on six continents, translated into English when written in other languages.

News can happen anywhere
When news breaks in small towns or large cities across the U.S. and around the globe, Access World News enables researchers to gain valuable local perspectives by zeroing in on sources closest to the events. Updated daily, Access World News fully supports patrons’ diverse needs with more than 190 million current and archived news articles. Researchers can pinpoint information, compare diverse views and track subjects geographically and over time with the deepest newspaper archives available.

One click access to global perspectives
Access World News features an intuitive, map-based interface—developed in partnership with librarians—which can be customized to highlight specific newspapers and to meet the unique needs of libraries, staff and patrons. Without training, users can easily select and search a single newspaper, multiple titles across a state, region or country or all the sources in the database.

Enhanced interface improves search results
With NewsBank’s streamlined new interface, users can pinpoint useful information and navigate quickly and efficiently through millions of articles. Access World News also supports OpenURLs, so librarians can use persistent links in materials such as reading lists, and MARC records, so researchers can link directly from the OPAC to each newspaper’s search page. Finally, patrons can easily browse, print and email articles.
