Stockton-San Joaquin County Public Library

Articles in Magazines and Newspapers

Newspaper and magazine articles are available in either traditional paper format or electronic format--sometimes in both. Many newspaper back-issues are available only in microfilm format.

Use the Right Tool

Read Articles from Home

Many articles will be available to you at home, right from your own computer.* Assume you can access electronic resources anytime, from anywhere, unless noted. A note "in library" beside a title indicates a resource is not available from home. Back issues can be searched by keyword or subject in some instances back to the mid-1980s.

For a quick survey of both newspapers and magazines from home EBSCO Host is the right tool.
