News and Links

image The High School Library’s catalog is available from home, http://dest1.hccs.hunter.cuny.edu/common/welcome.jsp?site=101.


Four major US papers—Atlanta Constitution (1868-1939), Boston Globe (1872-1924), Chicago Tribue (1849-1986), NYTimes (1851-2004)—are available through Proquest. To access, from the HCHS home page, mouse over “library” and then “edatabases” and then choose (the slightly misleadingly named) link: “NYT Historical”. This database should be available for students to use from home with their username and password, however problems with access have been reported. Let me know what people’s experiences are and I’ll work with the technology department to see if they can be fixed.

The Brooklyn Daily Eagle (1841-1902) has been digitized by the Brooklyn Public Library and is available here:
