Newspaper and journal article citations in the Hot Topics documents include links to full-text when available. Access to full-text may be restricted. The sources we list may be:

Freely available to the general public - Many newspapers (including the Sacramento Bee, the San Francisco Chronicle, etc.) and some journals allow full-text for certain years to be freely accessed without restriction. Some are freely available after registration (Los Angeles Times).

Available by subscription, or per-article fee - Some newspapers and journals offer full-text for subscribers only, or in exchange for annual subscription or per-article fees.

Licensed for use by library patrons - Public, college, university, and special libraries obtain full-text for their patrons through license agreements with vendors (Access World News, LexisNexis, etc.) You may wish to check at the libraries where you have borrowing privileges to determine your eligibility for full-text sources.

Access World News (UCB) and NewsBank (UCB) links are available to students, faculty, and staff at the University of California at Berkeley, either by IP recognition or through the proxy service.

LexisNexis (UC) links are available to students, faculty, and staff at all University of California campuses, either by IP recognition or through a campus proxy server (for example, the UC Berkeley proxy service). These links connect to the LexisNexis Guided News Search, not the specific article. Additional searching will be required to retrieve the particular article.
