Newspaper Articles Published in the Asian Country of Your Choice:

First, search for online newspapers published in the Asian country of your choice: In this example, using Wofford OneSearch, you are looking for newspapers published in China; to find newspapers published elsewhere, simply replace "China" with the country of your choice as a subject. Second, that is, once you find the newspapers for your country, access the full text of the individual newspapers to search for articles on your topic .

Article Search Tips

Here are a few tips that will help you ensure your searching is as effective as possible.

You will have greater success if you put phrases in quotation marks. For example, searching for the phrase "Hebrew Bible" will be more effective than not placing the phrase in quotes, which will find the instance of both of the words, but not necessarily together.
Most databases will let you choose the type of publication you need, such as magazines, newspapers, or scholarly journals.
Look for an advanced search option. It will often provide you with additional options to refine your search for most relevant results.
