While OMNI can be used to find newspaper articles, the Lakehead Library has other databases that are more suited to finding news stories - most are accessible from the library's list of newspaper databases:

  • Canadian Major Dailies - this is the key database for major Canadian newspapers, such as the Globe and Mail, Ottawa Citizen, Montreal Gazette, and others. Online access dates back to the mid 1980s.

For U.S. and international news, try NexisUni Plus which can be found on this page.

  • On the NexisUni homepage, choose Advanced Search under the main search box.
  • On the Advanced Search page, choose the News tab.
  • After you enter keywords and run a search, on your results page, there are filters to limit by geographical location etc.

 

It is also possible to search news sources via Lexis Advance Quicklaw Plus (For all students) , which can be found on this library page.

One way to navigate to news is to start with the Browse button at the top left of the Lexis homescreen:

 

And then choose SOURCES  -->  select a country/region --> select "Category" --> select News
