History News: March 2007 Archives
The Libraries are currently running additional history-related database trials. From Gale we have temporary access to:
--19th Century U.S. Newspapers
--Conditions and Politics in Occupied Western Europe, 1940-1945
--Making of the Modern World
--Sabin Americana, 1500-1926
--Testaments to the Holocaust
--U.S. Supreme Court Records & Briefs, 1832-1978
--Women, War & Society, 1914-1918
Also of interest are Blackwell's Compass journals, specifically History Compass. Please provide feedback directly to me on the upsides (and downsides, if any) of these resources.
Newspaper research can be difficult. The goal of our new Newspapers subject guide is to make the process a little easier by answering such questions as:
Why can't I get newspaper articles from last month on Google News?
Why can't I access _____ [insert newspaper title] online for 1950?
How do I access a list of Pennsylvania newspapers?
Where can I find historical newspapers?
How do I get access to newspapers Temple does not own?
Temple researchers can of course also use the guide to easily and quickly read thousands of online newspaper articles. Never pay for a New York Times or Wall Street Journal article again!
A librarian is always available for research help and follow-up.
