Tips
- The Hawaii Newspaper Index coverage is from 1989 through the present year.
Earlier years are indexed by print volumes, shelved atop HCC Library's Clipping File.
- The Hawaii Newspaper Index can be searched by subject or by keyword(s).
Use the pull-down menu to select your search type.
Hint: Not sure about the subject heading for your topic?
Begin with a Subject Browse, General Keyword, or Subject Keyword search. Then, examine the subject headings of the citations.
- Since date-sorting does not work at this time, try including the year of interest with your search terms.
example: to locate newspaper citations about "computer virus" in the year 2000
Search: Newspaper General Keyword [for]--> computer virus 2000
- If the search retrieves more than one article, a list of brief citations will appear. To see a full citation, click on the title.
The full citation contains the newspaper's publication information, subject heading(s), and often, a brief abstract.
- HCC Library has back issues of the Honolulu Advertiserand
the Honolulu Star-Bulletinon microfilm.
Information needed to get a copy of an article:
- Name of the newspaper: Advertiser or Star-Bulletin
- Date of the article
- Section and page number of the article, e.g. A-10
example:
 |
In this example,
Newspaper: Honolulu Star-Bulletin
Date: May 6, 2000
Section and page: A4
|
- To locate an obituary, do a Newspaper General Keyword for the name of the deceased.
example:
Or, browse through obituaries by year with an Advanced Search like this:
example:
Newspaper General Keyword = "1999"
and
Newspaper Subject Keyword = "obituaries J"
will retrieve obituaries from 1999 of people with last names beginning with the letter J.
