Magazine & Newspaper Articles
Read Magazines & Newspapers Online
A Massachusetts public or campus library card and a computer with Internet access are your gateway to web-based electronic resources that contain thousands of popular magazines, scholarly journals, newspapers, newswires, business directories, investment reports, biographies, health and prescription drug information, literature reviews, and more. Read the latest AND back issues of your favorite magazines and newspapers ranging from Time, Newsweek, Consumer Reports, Science News, Forbes, the Harvard Health Letter, Sports Illustrated for Kids, Ranger Rick, The Boston Globe, The New York Times and Fodor's Travel Guides to name a few. The latest magazines are often online BEFORE they even hit the newsstands!
You can log onto to the electronic resources from anywhere that you have Internet access and a registered Massachusetts library card. If you don't have Internet access at home, all Massachusetts regional member libraries, whether a small public library, a school media center, business information center or academic research library, can be your gateway. If you have any difficulty or if your library card number is not recognized, please read the help file first. Then contact your local library if you need further assistance. These databases are funded by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners for use by the residents of Massachusetts.
