Searching for Illinois Newspapers
 

First, we need to get into the catalog. To do this, click here.

 
 

 

When you get in the catalog, it defaults to the Quick Search. But for our purposes, we need the Guided Keyword Search.

 

 

Click on the Guided Keyword Search tab. You will be taken to  a screen that appears as below.

 
 

 In the lower right hand portion of this screen, is a button called, "More Limits."

 
 

 
Pressing the More Limits button, you will be taken to the menu below.
 
 

 
We want to find only newspapers, so within the Primary Format menu we want to limit the search to Magazines/Journals--as newspapers are a kind of daily journal. Highlight this category.
 
 

 
After you highlight the Magazines/Journals format, click on the Set Limits button. You will be taken back to the main search screen (see below),  but now a message appears telling you that "Search Limits are in effect." Create the search below.
 
 

 

Click on the Search button, and you will get an alphabetized  list of 60+ Illinois papers.
