I am pleased to announce that, beginning July 1, 2013 NOVELNY will over statewide access to Gannett Newstand Complete (ProQuest).  This database:

Contains over 85 Gannett newspapers, 6 of which are New York newspapers.  These include the Ithaca Journal, Poughkeepsie Journal, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, Journal News (White Plains), Press and Sun-Bulletin (Binghamton) and Star-Gazette (Elmira).
It is my understanding that access to the Ithaca Journal goes back to 1999 or 2000 (the Tompkins County Public Library subscribes & I’ve searched it there).
Thanks to NovelNY for adding access to Gannett papers.  You can access NovelNY if you are resident of New York directly on their website using you NY State Driver License: http://novelnewyork.org/   We also include these resources on the Ithaca College Library’s database list.

Jennifer Matheny, Product Manager of LNA Group, emailed the following instruction for using LNA doc delivery to Dropbox in Chrome:

Dear Colleagues,

I’m happy to announce that a few issues that were affecting LexisNexis Academic users on Google Chrome have been resolved. These issues included delivery attempts freezing including printing, downloading, and our new Dropbox delivery enhancement. Our recent release has fixed these problems, so using Academic in Chrome should no longer affect user experience.

If you find that the Delivery to Dropbox or Bibliographic Export functionality still doesn’t work in Chrome – make sure your pop up blocker excludes http://www.lexisnexis.com. To do that, click the Chrome menu in the top right and select “Settings.” Click “Show advanced settings.” In the “Privacy” section, click the Content Settings button. Then, in the “Pop-ups” section, click Manage Exceptions. Add http://www.lexisnexis.com to your exceptions list.

The Maynard Institute is offering an inexpensive webinar this Friday, April 26th, from 11 to noon PDT (think that is 2ish EST).  Register here: http://mije-trahant-042613.eventbrite.com/

Here are the event details from the site:

Mark Trahant says he didn’t leave daily journalism, it left him.

The former editorial page editor was laid off when the Seattle Post Intelligencer folded its print edition in favor of a scaled-down online version.

With no traditional jobs in sight, Trahant forged ahead in a career that combined his passion for news, history and social media.

He has succeeded in building a thriving, multi-layered enterprise and has reached income near parity with his old job.

During this interactive webinar he lays out some guidelines for creating your path and gives the nuts and bolts about how to structure your work and find new sources of income.

He’ll discuss: His business plan; His pricing strategies; How to find partners and business opportunities

From LexisNexis’s Academic listserv:

Dear Colleagues,

I’m happy to announce the release of new functionality in LexisNexis Academic, Document Delivery to Dropbox. This new enhancement allows users to deliver up to 500 documents directly to their Dropbox accounts.

Delivery to Dropbox is a great solution for users who need a place to store their research documents that can be accessed from any computer or mobile device. Instead of cluttering up their email inboxes or saving to flash drives, users can deliver directly to a LexisNexis Academic folder inside of their Dropbox account for future use and easy access.

Visit our Knowledge Center article for a more detailed description of the new functionality, along with a YouTube video tutorial:
http://wiki.lexisnexis.com/academic/index.php?title=Document_Delivery_to_Dropbox

This enhancement will grow over the next few months to include other popular cloud storage solutions.

Please e-mail me personally if you have further questions. Have a great week!

Regards,
-Jennifer Matheny
