Here’s an update on Chipwrapper, a collection of resources for searching UK newspapers on the internet.

Chipwrapper: All of the resources use existing open source or free technologies to help you get the most out of the content that UK newspapers publish online, including nine of the UK’s leading national newspapers – The Daily Express, Daily Mail, Daily Mirror, Financial Times, The Guardian, The Independent, The Sun, The Telegraph and The Times.

There are also RSS headline feeds, a search plugin, and a custom Google Toolbar button.

Thanks to Karen Blakeman, who on her blog (aptly named “Karen Blakeman’s Blog”) says, “One of my favourite news sites, Chipwrapper, now offers an option to search for articles within a specified time period…Until now, a drawback  of the service has been the absence of an option to limit your search by date. You can include a year and/or month in your search, but now there are built in options to search for articles published within the past 24 hours, week, month or year.”

That’s quite an endorsement!  If you need any U.K. news, check it out.
