The Lib4RI offers a wide range of news and newspapers. A small selection of Swiss and international newspapers is available in print at most Lib4RI sites. Print copies are usually not kept for more than a few weeks. They are all listed in our swisscovery catalogue, including a login where required.
Access to most newspapers in our portfolio is provided via the following aggregators and archives:
