Subject: Newspapers

More info: Some students I notice do not associate newspapers with journals or magazines. I am surprised how many ask me how to find a news report. I wondered if articles could read articles/news as a solution?

Subject: Problem areas with web site

More info: Students are having difficulty finding databases with data. Many do not think to look under Articles as they do not associate data with articles. Those that do, head for the alphabetic list because they are usually told what data to use. These are not coded to show up on the alphabetic list (they were before we began using LMT).

There are several remedies I can think of:

a) code these as Indexes and Abstracts (which is to be reserved for databases with primary journal articles)
b) assign a new code that will show up on the alpha list
c) have the existing code show up on the alpha list (and change the others to some other code as we don't want them all to show up)

Let me know what to do, Thanks!
