A guide to foundation principles which are essential to building skills in all areas of information literacy and library skills.

Newspapers

Newspapers: Newspapers, current affairs publications and trade journals are a good source of information for current events and developments in areas such as culture, politics and science. Older newspapers can be useful to get an insight into the past. Many newspapers also publish Web sites with today's news. The online copy of a newspaper may have fewer articles than the print copy. Use a newspaper to:

  • find current information about international, national and local events;
  • find editorials, commentaries, expert or popular opinions.
