From the Power Library, ZAPL receives access to the databases for the AP Newsroom and to Gale General OneFile. Gale’s OneFile is particularly nice because it includes full text articles from major newspapers across the United States and around the world, including Pittsburgh.  

A note of caution however, not every newspaper from OneFile is held to the current date, one notable example of this is the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette which does not supply issues from the past three years.
