Alternative Access to Databases Pages on January 12
Beginning at 11:30 am on Monday, January 12, all of our LibGuides will become unavailable for up to 24 hours as we switch to the new LibGuides platform. This means that the pages we provide with links to databases will also be unavailable. As an alternative, please use this Google Doc which provides an A-Z list of database links.
To notify our users, we’ll be doing the following:
- sending out a tweet on the @baruchlibrary Twitter account
- changing some of the links on the library website that point to the databases pages so that they go to the alternative listing of databases
It is likely that the new LibGuides will be ready in less than 24 hours. As soon as it is up, I’ll send out an email and write a new post here on the reference blog.
Need Help Finding Index to NY Post and Daily News
I’m trying to help someone who needs to browse a print index (or even better, search an online index) for articles published in the late 1960s in the New York Post and in the New York Daily News. At this point, it’s looking like the only remaining option is to plow through the microfilm of daily issues instead. I’m wondering if anyone has any ideas that I haven’t already explored. Here’s what I’ve done so far:
Checked for online access to full text in this particular time period:
- Serials Solutions
- Ulrichsweb
- Google News Archive
- NewspaperArchive.com
- NewsLibrary.com
- NYS Historic Newspapers
- Center for Research Libraries
Checked to see if there are any indexes in print or online that cover this period:
- Reader’s Guide Retrospective
- Ulrichsweb
- Serials Solutions
- NYPL’s page about its newspapers collections
- Library of Congress page for “Newspaper Archives, Indexes, and Morgues”
- Zimmer Index
- Guide to Reference Books
If you have any suggestions, please add a comment to this post.
