Members of the Systems Dept and Reference Dept staffs at Alden Library have for some time been hard at work on an online database to articles from The Post, covering years for which there was previously no indexing available.
That database is now complete, so take a look:
Post Index (online) Fall 1985-Spring 1995
This resource will be a nice complement to the Archives on The Post website archives:
Earlier years of The Post (1939-1950 and 1961-June 1990) may be found in a print index
NOTE: for Sept. 1997-present Lexis-Nexis may also be used
Spring library workshops begin tomorrow. There are some new ones as well as old favorites. Check out the library workshop schedule for complete information. As always, workshops are FREE and always in Alden Library room 323 (near the Faculty Commons).
