Tabloids

I am a first year Language and Linguistics student. Is there any chance of getting a tabloid paper in the library eg replace broad sheet the Independent and getting the Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror, Woman's Own, Hello, The People's Friend or the Morning Star? Thanks

Thank you for your message.  Unfortunately we can’t swap subscriptions at the point in the academic year however you can access any newspaper publication online through our subscription to Newsbank which covers UK national newspapers.  (http://library.beds.ac.uk/record=b1146741~S20)  From the first screen of Newsbank select the link ‘NewsBank Newspapers – U.K. and Ireland and then you can use the search boxes to search for articles on a particular topic or by using the drop down menus you can select a particular source e.g. the Daily Mail.  As with any of our databases you can use the left hand menu to refine your list of results further.
The Public Library also stocks a number of tabloid newspapers and popular magazines and I would advise you to visit to see if they can be of use to you.
