Research Tip: Searching Newspapers
Tip #17: Searching Full-text Newspapers
Think like a journalist.
What words would they use to write about the topic? What names of people, places, or events could you use?
Use
OR

to increase results. (e.g., riot OR protest)
Use the
asterisk (*)
to get multiple endings of a word. (e.g., riot* for riots, rioters, rioting)
To get words closer together, use
proximity operators
. (see the database's help page for correct syntax)
Use
limits
for publication dates and types of articles (e.g., editorials, news, etc.)
