Publication Date

Find the Advanced Search Options (Here is the link for FIND/ Lionsearch).

Locate the publication date, and enter 1960 and 1970 for your year range. Add search terms above and they should all be results from this decade.

If you're looking at a specific event, you can also consider a narrower range. 

Example: Kent State Shooting occurred on May 4, 1970, so searching (m/d/yyyy)  5/4/1970 to 5/20/1970 would give results showing coverage immediately after the event.
