Current Newspapers at Leddy Library

Leddy Library subscribes to the print editions of The Globe & Mail and The Windsor Star, which arrive daily. The current editions are available for reading in the library.

Leddy Library also subscribes to a number of resources that provide access to current newspapers, that otherwise would be behind paywalls. Most of these titles are indexed in Omni, meaning that you can search Omni for the newspaper titles or the articles to discover the news. These resources provide access to the text content of the newspapers and may lack supporting imagery or other materials that would be found on the newspaper’s website. Leddy’s current newspaper resources are:
