Resource to try: McClatchy-Tribune Collection

Ball State University users can access the McClatchy-Tribune Collection from the University Libraries' databases page: http://www.bsu.edu/ libraries/ electronicresources/ databases.asp. The database, formerly known as the Knight-Ridder Collection, includes newspaper articles published in the last 90 days. You will find over 100 newspapers from around the nation and published by McClatchy in the database; this includes the Chicago Tribune, Orlando Sentinel, Seattle Times, and others.

You can search the database for keywords or browse by publication. For example, this sample keyword search of the database will find articles on Sept. 11th remembrance activities. You can also browse publications by title and date; for example, this link takes you to all the articles from the July 4, 2006, issue of the Chicago Tribune.

Off-campus users will be prompted to enter their BSU username and password in order to access the database.

If you have questions or would like additional information on library resources, please contact Stacy. To find out more about the University Libraries' latest resources, check out the News & Events blog.
