This guide is here to help the Cal State LA campus become more familiar with the library discover tool and how it works.

What Newspapers Are Searchable in OneSearch?

The Library subscribes to over 1,000 newspapers including all major newspapers and local papers in the U.S., and internationally.  You can find a list of newspaper databases using this link.  These newspapers including the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, etc., and state and local papers, as well as international papers, such as the Globe and Mail (Canada). Many international newspapers are covered by the country's native languages.
