BBC Summary of World Broadcasts

BBC Summary of World Broadcasts ceased publication in March 2001. For similar coverage, check the online service World News Connection, described above.

The titles of the daily and weekly SWB publications changed in 1993, to more accurately reflect the map of today's world. The library's holdings appear below, with the new arrangement (1993-2001) followed by the old arrangement (1959-1993).

Bound volumes for all BBC Summary of World Broadcasts are located off-site, and can be requested at any library circulation desk.
