New Mexico Newspapers Online

 

The New Mexico State Library is pleased to announce it will be providing online, searchable access to three New Mexico newspapers effective immediately. This access will be available from academic, public, and school libraries as well as state agency offices.

 

This service came about as a result of a survey sent to public libraries a few months ago asking what type of database they would like the State Library to provide in addition to Magazines Online.

 

An online newspaper database was the overwhelming choice. Funds became available to provide the service beyond public libraries.. Newsbank was chosen as the provider and the database includes the following:

 

Albuquerque Journal 1/1/1995-Present

Las Cruces Sun-News 2/14/2004-Present

Roswell Daily Record 1/2/2002-Present

 

Each paper provides unique coverage of local and regional news, including companies, politics, sports, industries, cultural activities, and people in the community. Paid ads are excluded.

 

If you are reading this from a New Mexico library or a state agency office, the point of access is http://infoweb.newsbank.com.
