NOVELny Newspaper Coverage Upgraded

Newspaper coverage available through the NOVELNY initiative will be upgraded on October 25th with the replacement of InfoTrac Custom Newspapers with Gale Newsstand. Newsstand includes all of the content from Custom Newspapers and more. The move to Newsstand should address concerns on timely updating of content noted in the Custom Newspapers product. The National Newspaper Index and New York State Newspapers access will remain unchanged.

The title list for InfoTrac Newsstand may be found at: http://www.gale.cengage.com/title_lists/. Find the fact sheet for Newsstand at: http://www.gale.cengage.com/pdf/facts/ITCN.pdf. 

**Libraries registered for NOVELNY and maintaining a separate link to Custom Newspapers will have to delete that link and create a link to Newsstand (see URL below). The existing link to Custom Newspapers will remain active until Monday, November 28, 2011. **

The link to Custom Newspapers will need to be changed to Newsstand at the URL below, substituting your library's Location ID for the text "xx_xxxx".

NOVELNY is a pilot project for the Statewide Internet Library provided by the New York State Library. It connects New Yorkers in every community to state-of-the-art information without regard to economic, geographic, or physical barriers. The NOVELNY pilot opened a new era in library service, thanks to support from the LSTA (Library Services and Technology Act) program and the Federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
