The library subscribes to a number of resources which you can use to access newspapers - which can be useful if you are looking for reviews of a particular film - and television broadcasts. A few of these are listed below.
Box of Broadcasts (BoB) is an off-air recording and media archive service. It allows you to record TV and radio programmes scheduled to be broadcast over the next seven days as well as retrieving programmes from the last seven days from a selected list of recorded channels. In addition, you can watch programmes from the archive (back to around 2007 for 9 key channels), create clips, and compile your favourite shows into playlists. BoB is produced by the British Universities Film & Video Council (BUFVC), Cambridge Imaging Systems and Bournemouth University.
Provides news from over 2000 global sources - including UK national and regional newspapers, international newspapers and foreign language news sources in Dutch, French, German, Arabic, Spanish and Portuguese - from the 1980s onwards. Updated daily.
This historical newspaper archive provides genealogists, researchers and scholars with online, easily-searchable first-hand accounts and unparalleled coverage of the politics, society and events of the time.
PressReader contains a selection of newspapers and magazines from over 120 countries in over 60 languages.
