Currently received newspapers from South Asia are held in the Lehman Social Sciences Library and are located on the 200 level of the library. Most paper copies of newspapers are kept for 1-2 years.  CLIO, the online catalog, does not list detailed holdings information for currently received newspapers.

Microform holdings of older issues are housed mostly in our remote storage facility, ReCAP, recorded as "Offsite" in the list below.  Check the online catalog for holdings information and to request delivery of microfilm to campus. Select titles are in Butler Library and Burke Library.

Paper copies of current newspapers are not usually available through interlibrary loan, although copies of specific articles may be obtained if you have the exact publication information (title, date, page number). You may visit many nearby libraries to use their newspapers.
