Newspapers, magazines & articles on current affairs

• On the Nexis Uni website, click on ‘Sources’ in the top bar, or the ‘Find a source’ button under the search bar.

• Fill in the name of the publication under ‘Search within sources’, or find it through the alphabetical list.  
• Click on the publication. Note that the box symbol indicates this is an archive, not a current publication. 

• You will see the content of the source ordered by publication date, with the newest first as default. The content is text-only versions of the publication’s articles.
• To find a specific article, use the ‘search within results’ search bar to add keywords from the article. On your phone or other device with a small screen, this search bar can be found under the ‘filter results’ option. This can be useful if you've found a news article online that is hidden behind a paywall.

• If you are familiar with Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT), you can create a search string in the search bar. Make sure to select the news sources you want to search in. To review or learn more about the use of Boolean operators, check out the LibGuide 'Build your search profile'

• You can also let Nexis Uni create a search string with Boolean operators for you. Click on News in the top bar, and then Advanced search under the search bar.
• Use the bars to add your search terms. It is not necessary to put all your search words in one time. It is better to add your search terms concept by concept. For example, while searching for articles on a visit of the pope to The Netherlands, you can fill the following in the Any of these terms bar: "The Netherlands" Holland Nederland. Press Add and Nexis Uni will automatically put the correct Boolean operator between these words. Now fill in pope in the search bar All of these terms, and Nexis Uni will combine this terms with your previous search terms. 
• Make other selections, such as language, date, etc. and press the Search button.
