We don't have everything ... but we have RACER

  • RACER: our interlibrary loan service
    Through RACER, you can search other library catalogues, find a record for the paper you want, and submit your request. We will work with other libraries to obtain specific articles or back-runs of newspapers. Processing time can take 7 to 14 days -- sometimes longer depending on how readily available the newspaper is.

    Give it a try.
