"I love newspaper databases!"
Last night I got a phone call from someone looking for a 10-year-old Wall Street Journal article. I talked him through pulling it up in U.S. Newsstream. Before he signed off, he said, "I'm so impressed!"
I've been in Adult Services (formerly Reference) at La Crosse Public Library a little over 30 years. I love newspaper databases! Besides finding that elusive article that someone remembers reading a few years ago, I can look up obits, family history and historical events.
