The Washington Post
Strangely, the most straightforward way to search yesterday's paper in complete full-text is by clicking on "GALE IN CONTEXT: ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES." This will probably be easiest for your journal assignment. For additional advanced search options, click on the Nexis Uni link.
The Wall Street Journal
The Library does not have an electronic subscription to the WSJ as it is prohibitively expensive.
We DO receive it in print, which you can find in the Current Periodicals Area in Starbucks on the Library's third/main floor.
The Christian Science Monitor
Under "Full Text Access," use one of the databases that has present-day coverage.

Washington Resources

Congressional Quarterly News
Congressional Quarterly and CQ Roll Call were purchased in 2019 by a corporation called FiscalNote. We have access to Congressional Quarterly News through Nexis Uni.
In Nexis Uni, you may either click on "advanced" to search for a specific date or set of search terms.
You may also consider searching a single search term and then ordering the results by "newest-oldest" so that you can view the most current news on that search term.
The National Journal
The Library no longer has a subscription to The National Journal or The National Journal Daily (we have coverage from 2000-2015).

Regional Newspapers

It is important that you use regional/Texas newspapers for your journal and not rely only on the national publications. It is also important for you to learn how to find news from many different types of sources. A quick way to access numerous news sources (newspapers, local television transcripts, college newspapers, etc.) is via a database called "Access World News."

To access the newspapers below, please go to Access World News and click on "Houston Chronicle" or "San Antonio Express-News" or check out the "Texas News Sources" for about 300 other publications or news outlets.

Note that this database also contains blogs and other opinion/editorial pieces, so use your judgment and discretion when selecting your sources.

San Antonio Express-News
The Houston Chronicle
The Austin-American Statesman
Dallas Morning News
