The library holds numerous local, national and international daily and weekly newspapers. Most of them are displayed in the Reference Department (Area B), while some are kept in the departmental libraries Linguistics and Literary Studies (C1 and D1), Sociology (U0) and in the ZiF Library.
Many online newspaper archives can be searched in the database Lexis Nexis Wirtschaft The articles are available in full-text versions. (Sources: German press resp. German-language and English-language press). In order to find out whether a particular paper is searchable, start Lexis Nexis and click "Quellenverzeichnis", then "Quellensuche" and enter the title of the paper into the search form. If the paper is available, you may select it, copy it as source in your search and start browsing.
Part of the back issues (until 2008) are available as microfilm versions and are ready for reading and copying in the Reference Department.
