Not all databases provide the entire range of a newspaper's publication dates. Sometimes, you will need to access older articles on microfilm (film reels) or microform (transparent cards). Oxy has a number of newspapers on microform, some of which are listed below. The microfilm reading machine is located on the main floor of the Academic Commons.
Microform of newspapers not at Oxy can be ordered via Inter Library Loan (ILL).
1. Search for the title of the newspaper in OxyWorldcat
2. Sort the results by relevence only
3. Open the record for the newspaper that contains microfilm or microform (it should be in the first few results)
4. Click Request this Item
It can be useful to reference an index to the newspaper when using microform, which can also be ordered through WorldCat using the same steps above. To locate a newspaper's index, search for the title + "index."
