Here are answers to some common questions about Solihull's eNewspapers service.
Borrowbox ePress includes many UK national newspapers (apart from the Daily/Sunday Telegraph, Times/Sunday Times, and the Sun/Sun on Sunday), plus many local papers and worldwide titles.
NewsbankUK includes UK newspapers and also the Daily/Sunday Telegraph, Times/Sunday Times and Sun/Sun on Sunday, plus many local papers including the Solihull Observer.
We acknowledge that a very small number of titles that were available through PressReader will not be available through ePress. Some of these, such as the Economist, are locked into an exclusive deal and cannot be offered by other platforms. However, Bolinda are actively looking to obtain ‘missing’ titles where possible, so these may be available in future.
Most national and local papers are available on the morning of publication. There may be slight delays to others and longer delays for some countries' papers depending on availability and the local situation, eg areas hit by war.
Back issues are available for a range of intervals from a fortnight to three months. An archive of articles is available in Newsbank, searchable by subject and going back considerably further.
UK Press Online has an archive of the Daily and Sunday Express issues in full back to 1900 plus some World War 2 papers.
You can also view the British Newspaper Archive in libraries, using our computers with your library card, or on your own device using our wifi. This is a searchable archive of historical local newspapers with the full images available.
