We now have access to Library PressDisplay. Access is from the Catalogue and Databases pages. Records for individual titles will be added to the Catalogue next month.

Titles can be easily viewed by using the “select title” or “titles by country” features. Translations are available and you can use the sound feature to listen to an article. It’s quite intuitive to use, things like flipping pages, searching, zooming, etc, are all indicated with icons. Coverage is limited to 60 days (or less for some titles) at any one time. Most inserts are included (often listed under a separate name). Papers can be read on mobile devices using PressReader and there are lots of user options for SmartNavigation enabled titles. Refer to the Help on site for more information.

Printing is restricted to one page at a time or individual articles for copyright reasons. The print feature works by printing the full page or selecting a portion of the page to print. This could then be converted to a PDF if desired.

The most used newspapers have been put on the front page in the Librarian’s Picks area – The Australian, The Press, The New Zealand Herald.

Keep up with new features, etc on the PressDisplay Blog
