On Monday, March 30th, 2015 from 1:00 PM until 3:30 PM at the CDLC Offices at 28 Essex Street in Albany, there will be a New York State Historic Newspapers Presentation by Eric Alan, Regional Services Librarian at Northern New York Library Network.
New York State Historic Newspapers is a fantastic resource for all types of libraries. It provides free indexed access to selected historical newspapers from across New York State. Currently, the site holds over 200 newspapers, with millions of searchable pages!
This event is free and open to all members of CDLC institutions. Registration is required by Friday, March 27th. Register Here
During this presentation, you’ll learn the history behind the website and become familiar with basic and advanced search strategies, including personal name search methods. We will also discuss the criteria needed to get your library’s newspapers included in the project, including the possibility of receiving some funding through CDLC to get you started.
Although it is not required, it is recommend that participants bring a laptop or tablet to follow along. Due to a limited number of seats, if you register and are unable to attend, please contact Susan D’Entremont at susan@cdlc.org
