Newspaper Collection

The Foster Business Library newspaper collection is located in the northwest corner of the library's first floor. Arrangement is alphabetically by newspaper title. A table in the newspaper display area holds the most recent issues of Barrons, Investor's Business Daily, the Puget Sound Business Weekly, and the most recent five days of the Wall Street Journal. Older issues are stored on shelves. Newspapers do not circulate (meaning that they cannot be borrowed).

For online business news sources, click the Foster Business Library research guide Business News Online.
