The Library provides direct access to online versions of the New York Times (NYT), Washington Post (WP), Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Financial Times (FT), and more! Click on the FAQ below to learn how to create an account.

If you do not have a specific newspaper in mind, AU offers several databases that allow browsing through many current major newspapers. The coverage is different in each database.

Here is how to the access multi-title databases:

From the library's homepage, click on the "Databases" tab and enter one of these titles:

  • Access World News Connection
  • Newspapers.com
  • Nexis Uni 

If you need a specific newspaper, on the library's homepage, click on the "Find Journals" tab and enter the title of the newspaper (not the article) in to the search box. Be certain to look at the years covered. Some are historical and some are current.
