Foreign Language News: Databases

Locate current foreign language newspapers through K-State Libraries using these databases.

Fall 2019 Update: Nexis Uni was our primary databases for international, foreign-language news. We canceled Nexis Uni as part of our Spring 2019 serials cancelations due to budget reductions and the serials crisis.

We are subscribing to two alternative databases through ProQuest. As of November 10, 2019, those titles appear as, Canadian Newsstream and International Newsstream, which cover foreign language titles, but not the exact same as Nexis Uni.

Details about using Search It are provided below.

Search It

Search It now separates out newspaper articles from other results.

Enter your search terms in the Search It box on the Libraries home page.
From the search results page go to the Refine My Results options on the left side of the screen.
Newspapers search should appear in a large, red font. Click on it to see newspaper articles.
