Q. How do I find newspaper and journal articles in languages other than English?

Many of the library's databases allow you to limit your search by language.  Look for the "advanced search" function, then limit by language. The language filters for some databases are in the left navigation column.

You can also search Google Scholar in various languages. From the Google Scholar homepage click on the 3 parallel lines ("hamburger icon") > settings > languages.

The library subscribes to several databases covering journals and/or newspapers that are primarily in a non-English language.  These include:
