How do I find newspapers?
Searching for print and electronic newspapers in the online catalogue
You will find print and electronic newspapers held by the Zentralbibliothek (Main Library) and the Subject Libraries in the online catalogue, indexed by journal title. If you have too many search results you can narrow them down to the publication type "newspaper" by using the filter in the left-hand column.
When searching for newspapers you will not be able to filter by year of publication. First, search for the newspaper without entering a year, then check in the full record under the tab "More title information" to see which library has the volume you need.

Searching for electronic newspapers in the Datenbank-Infosystem (Database Information System - DBIS)
You will find all the electronic newspapers accessible at the LMU grouped together as a collection under the heading "Pressemedien" (press media) in the Database Information System (DBIS). Searches will return results listing both individual newspaper archives and databases with a high proportion of newspaper holdings, such as Nexis or ZEFYS, which you can then search in turn.
