How can I access newspapers?
Can I access the New York Times, San Diego Union-Tribune, or other newspapers?
Answer
The SDSU Library has online access to several newspapers through different databases. Since our licensed access is primarily for academic purposes, the user interface doesn't look like the newspaper's website, like latimes.com. Our content removes ads and has limited images. The library does not provide log-ins to newspaper websites, except for the New York Times.
