NewsBank
This database provides access to over 100 international and Australian full text newspapers. Less comprehensive than Factiva, but easier to search. Licensing and Resource Information

Factiva
Full text access to more than 8,000 Australian and international newspapers, news sources and newspaper pictures/photos. Licensing and Resource Information
