Q. I need an older newspaper article published in The Straits Times and I cannot find it in Factiva. Where else can I try?

Use the database Newspapers.sg provided by the National Library Board.

• Use Advanced Search
• Enter your keywords
• Select the Newspaper, e.g. The Straits Times 
• Select the Date Range 

The Straits Times is searchable in Newspapers.sg from 1845-2009. 

Most of the articles can be read online where the pages are watermarked (with exceptions for articles that SPH does not have the copyright for). For a clean copy, go to the National Library and print from the microfilm reels.

Factiva and LexisNexis have articles from The Straits Times from 1 July 1989 to present.
