Look for newspapers by

• title
• place of publication
• time period

Use the Journal search tab in OneSearch or try WorldCat for papers not held by the University Libraries. Records for newspapers will tell you where to find current paper issues and older years on microfilm. Some newspaper records can be quite complicated, as newspapers may have many title or publication changes.

Arkansas Papers

• Search in OneSearch under place name as keyword, example
  • United States Arkansas [county] [city]
  • "United States Arkansas Benton Bentonville"
  • Place quotes around the phrase for more exact searching
  • Be sure to LIMIT your search to Material Type = newspapers
     
• For Arkansas newspapers outside our collection,  Brendel, Shirley J. Arkansas Newspapers. Fayetteville, AR: University Libraries, 1987, has a list by county.
