News / Current Events
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:
- One of the databases on that list is: Canadian Newsstream Collection - This database offers access to 400+ Canadian news sources. Publications included range from large newspapers such as the Toronto Star and Montreal Gazette, to local, small-city publications such as Orillia Today.
For U.S. and international news, try Nexis Uni Plus (formerly Lexis Nexis Academic), which is also available via the link above.
Look for the "news" tab in the upper left of the NexisUni homescreen:
After you type in your keywords and get a list of results, look at the filters on the left side to try and narrow down your results, for example by geographical location.
