PressReader
PressReader focuses on current newspapers from an international perspective. There are a few Swedish daily newspapers, but more international ones. In PressReader there are also journals and magazines on various subjects. Everything from food and drink, fashion, art, technology to politics. Many are published in English, but other languages also appears. The layout is based on browsing the material, which means that the content imitates the printed one. PressReader also has an app where an account can be created.
Primo - the tab Newspapers
In Primo, it is possible to search for material from international newspapers, mainly American ones. Primo does not contain current articles, they are a few days or older. Primo newspaper search can be used to follow an event or question backwards in time. In the first place, articles are delivered in text format and not as newspaper pages.
Svenska dagstidningar
For the historical researcher or those interested, Svenska dagstidningar (Swedish newspapers) is valuable as it contains digitized newspaper pages from the Swedish daily press. In order to be able to make full use of Svenska dagstidningar, a visit to the library is required. According to our agreement with the supplier, we can only provide access to material in the service via computer on site. However, it is possible to search the service remotely to check the amount of material that is available. In order to be able to save newspaper pages (by emailing them to yourself) an account needs to be created in Svenska dagstidningar.
Printed newspapers and magazines
The library has the following printed daily newspapers:
- Borås Tidning
- Dagens Industri
- Dagens Nyheter
- Göteborgs Posten
- Svenska Dagbladet
You will find them on floor 1.
In the Library's lounge on floor 2, there are a number of journals and magazines of a slightly more popular and lighter nature. Welcome in for a reading session.
